I know this is an old thread, but I thought it would be worth mentioning
that BBC IPlayer now works without Flash. If you go to the BBC IPlayer
web page it says you can access the programs using HTML5. You just have
to install a cookie to do this. It's still in beta but it works for me,
at least with recent versions of Firefox and Chromium.
