At MS we don't do useful and free - expensive and disappointing is the future.

Give them a chance. It might be quite good. I thought that Microsoft do the DRM for the BBC anyway?

Yeah but Microsoft have a policy that dicatates that anything on XBL must be charged for.
The BBC have a policy that the iPlayer cannot be charged for.

Well WMV drm for downloaded episodes, but IIRC it's their own DRM licence they use If canvas/kangaroo comes on I might be interested, but given that my low power HTPC does freesat HD + all the on demand stuff (with tunerfreeMCE) I have no need/want for it to be honest

Seeing as I have my Virgin box connected to the TV, there doesn't seem to be any need for me to use the noisy Xbox to watch content I can get from my silent Virgin box.

For those of us in the forums, we can already watch iPlayer over the internet or for those with cable that way as well. This might suit a few without cable though they would still need an internet connection so could use a computer as well.
