I hope you missed the 22/02/2011 edition where Linux was mentioned
in a rather patronising manner!

Using the idiotic player (iplayer) for Click is particularly annoying
because it's sent as a simple mpegts stream to all of the UK several
times a week - what the mainstream calls digital TV - so why all the
stupidity online?  So anyone can record the above show once more at
03:30 Thursday on BBC News Channel without needing non-free software.

Just Click used to be available in something easier to play (intended
for mobile phones?) but I can't find the link any more.
