BBC iPlayer to launch on Freesat

The BBC iPlayer will be trialled to a limited number of Freesat viewers at the end of November.
A full service on Freesat should be launched in 2010, said a BBC spokesperson. All Freesat HD boxes will be able to receive it.
Rahul Chakkara, head of TV platforms at the BBC, announced the beta trial on the BBC internet blog.
He also said that a quarter of BBC iPlayer viewing is now done through the TV via Virgin Media.
The BBC iPlayer became available on Virgin Media in June 2008
