He "might" mean the Stage6 Divx player thingy, found at http://stage6.divx.com/, its the official streaming thing from the guys who make the DivX codec. Am I right Whelan fella?

Just watching the 1000th episode of Tomorrows World, its very interesting, they are taking a look back at inventions which have been featured in the past. Love the bit about CD's, "whether theres a market for this kind of disc, remains to be seen" :rofl: I wonder if anyone still has a 1000th episode "hologram CD"??? They keep adding more and more content every week, I get a newsletter telling me whats new etc...

Just red something interesting about tomorrows world: Virtually all the master video tapes of 1970s and early 1980s episodes containing the first showing in public of numerous new technologies were erased as part of a general BBC cost-cutting exercise, recycling video tape at a time when a half-hour spool cost hundreds of pounds. Fortunately, an enthusiastic viewer recorded many of the deleted episodes on an early and now long obsolete home video recorder (a Philips N1500) and kindly made his tapes available for copying during the early 1990s. As a result, the BBC archives do retain a record of the first time the British public encountered many new technologies and clips from the show occasionally appear in documentaries around the world. Sounds pretty much like what happened to Doctor Who, there are a fair few early episodes of Doctor Who that are gone forever becuase of the BBC deleting the archive in the 80's.

Hehe its eventually going to house almost all BBC produced radio and television broadcasts available, so it hasnt really been available forever. There has also never been archive television broadcasts available via the internet before. Still cant login though. The page is still missing lol. Maybe they archived it haha!

The BBC has been going a lot longer then the internet radio broadcasts  Ie. There are radio broadcasts in the archive dating back to the 1920's, which wont have been on the website previously.

Just got this: As you all know, the BBC archive trial was created to run for a limited period. We're now able to confirm that the trial will end on 10 December. This leaves you just over a month to watch all those programmes that you've saved to 'My Page'. After that date, you won't be able to watch or listen to these gems any more.
If you've not been back to the site for a while, you may have missed out on hundreds of programmes we've added to the trial since you last visited. We also have interviews and recommendations from people like David Attenborough, Lenny Henry and Esther Rantzen, past archive trial newsletters, the chance for you to rate and review programmes - and more. Even more gayness: As we're still compiling the results from the trial, we're not able to comment on what happens after the trial closes, though we may be in touch at a later date with additional surveys, to give you a chance to shape a future BBC archive service. In the meantime, we'd like to thank all of you for the feedback you've sent us and the reviews you've been posting, and we hope you've enjoyed this chance to delve into the archives as much as we have. Am actually gutted, cos although I didnt use it much, on the odd occasion I did make use of it, it worked extremely well. Its just a shame there was quite enough content put up during the trial, a fullsize library with mass public reach would be an awsome service imho. I hope they dont just bin the idea... one of the caualties of the Ofcom forced BBC Internet Services spending cutbacks mayvbe?

Just a reminder, the BBC Archive Trial ends on Monday, and may not return. So its your last chance to watch anything on there. If you subscribed to it that is.
There was one programme that caught my eye on there last month, might go back on and see if I can find it...
