Hmm, to me though as I said before, it really needs to be used on the more
mainstream channels and for that to be worth it, the BBC needs to up their
game engineering wise to at least as good as it was in the late 70s and
early 80s, not the leave a limiter in charge and go down the pub system they
to use these days.

AIUI The point is to see if they can stream it reliably, assess any
increase in server load, etc, a changeover would require, *and* get
positive feedback that people *want* it. They could then use the feedback
to argue that it justifies a likely increase in copyright permissions
payments, etc.

Not yet sure, but I've had the impression that they are also experimenting
with the details of how the stream is being served. e.g. I got some types
of error (from ffmpeg) on the 10th that haven't recurred more recently.
But
as yet that may be luck!

Up to people who want it to now react by saying they do via the relevant
feedback routes. I'll certainly write about it for HFN. But, alas, that
won't appear for 3+ months.
