Fan makes BBC iPlayer work on PS3

An Internet clever-clogs has made the BBC iPlayer work on PS3 as a demonstration of how easy it would be to officially support it.

The tinkering was done as a reaction to the BBC offering its telly catch-up service on Wii last week.

All the brain-box had to do to prove the point was stir a cauldron of JavaScript mixed with user-agent strings and a dash of CSS functions.

That means you can watch all of the telly you missed by using your console web browser to go to the Unofficial BBC iPlayer for the PS3 website and following the instructions on it.

Wow , I did not expect this to work so well. Pretty much the same veiw as on the PC. It would be great if in a version update it could be possible to download and save onto the Hardrive, but not so sure what the compatibility is - at the moment. With the PVR just round the corner via a TV pluggin (perhaps by end of this year) on the PS3 this is good enough for me for now for odd missed program.
