I was wondering if anyone else has experienced problems with the iplayer downloads, I am able to watch streaming programmes but when i attempt to download a programme to play on my portable device i am told that i need to upgrade my version of media player, I have checked on the microsoft web site and i am running the latest version which is version 11, I have emailed the beeb but i thought that i may get a quicker response here

It's probably talking about Windows Updates to upgrade the DRM components of WMP

If you want to download from the iPlayer files that will play on just about anything and not DRM locked Apple rubbish, try this

I'm happily watching downloaded programmes on my Nokia phone now. Just another example of how DRM gets in the way, because now there's a way to defeat the DRM, I'm seeing more content than I could have done without this little program.
