Get_iplayer is streaming live TV!

[d.lake at surrey.ac.uk]

I think what surprises me is that someone has obviously gone out looking for a server to capture live BBC TV on and spent time/money building THREE servers with which to do it.

Some people need to get out a little bit more...

And yes, the advice and suggestions here have been very useful indeed.

How unusual is 'unusual'?

There's only 65536 to scan :-) Doesn't take long.....

Some excellent advice here on protecting stuff though - thanks for all the comments which have been very informative.
