Sneaky BBC

I’ve been enjoying watching catchup TV on the BBC online iPlayer, shows like Top Gear, Never mind the Buzzcocks and Lead Balloon. Since I have a Mac of course I can’t download shows like my WinXP friends can. But I have a secret weapon – Parallels! So after installing the downloadable iPlayer manager in WinXP running in Parallels I was all set to download my favourite shows. But no. Sneaky, sneaky BBC sets the default downloaded store to 0 Mb. And when you try to change it, it pings back to 0Mb before you can save the settings! Very sneaky BBC! Give us a way to download shows so you seem like you’re giving us some download loving, then cripple it to make sure no-one actually does!
