Use the web-browser. It's free, you just go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplaye...

Providing you live in the UK of course.

So is iPlayer the UK equivalent to Hulu.com? If so that's awesome for those across the pond :). I love watching Hulu on my HDTV!

Like someone else said, more free services for us to leech off of lol.

I don't use the iPlayer very much but when I do I'm glad I can watch it on my TV now instead of my PC monitor.

I just tried it out after reading this and it looks great even zooming in and making the screen of the iPlayer larger.

Thumbs up for this feature :)

It's just what's been on BBC TV for the last 7 days, so it'll be the most recent episode(s) of Heroes season 3.

Doesn't give you option, but the site isn't the same as if you access it on the computer. It's PS3 specific

As for "full screen", it just tells you to zoom using the sticks.

Quality is decent, just the normal version increased in size so more than passable, but TV is probably dependant (32" here).

Overall, it's given me a better option than using the computer.
