    are you serious? many malwares are not picked up by av packs because they don't do anything "wrong" but if a check for a running av solution was included in the malware to then download a virus disaster...
    There speaks someone who probably has six AV systems running on his computer, as you can't have too much security... ;)

    Fair comment.
    I did find BBC iPlayer was terrible under Linux, with constant buffering, where it was fine under Windows on the same connection. Subsequently found out that iPlayer is "optimised" for a Windows environment. Sometimes you have to just go with the flow...

    For BBC, you can use get_iplayer on linux to download the content, then watch it offline. Obviously doesn't help for any of the other catchup services. (I have very poor bandwidth, so trying to stream anything is a pain.)
