iPlayer in Canada
Not the real thing, but the globalised version with tons of archive material from the Beeb. Rolled out in Canada today.

But like me, he [Novo] has a Mac and as far as I can see expatshield doesn't work for that platform.

So get the VGA cable and use the iPads built in TV out functionality to output it to the TV.
Additionally it'll be available soon on the Xbox and PS3.

Re: iPlayer in Canada
I know ipads are all the rage, but I don't own one and I don't want to shell out cash on something just so I can trail a VGA cable across the room - which imo is a shit solution anyway.
Come on BBC - sort it out. People don't want to watch your stuff on tablets, they want it on big screens.

Re: iPlayer in Canada
If you purchased an Apple TV ($100 I think) you can easily add iPlayer to it and I am sure the global one will be done too in the next few days. Then you can use a hdmi cable to your TV from the Apple TV. I watch all CTV news and channels this way back in the UK.
