You can watch live from the link in a stand alone player...

On now. Taking on Question Time every week.

cheers - though I see we have to install that silverlight player. I've not tried that yet, but I'm always sketchy about putting new Microsoft stuff in.

The archive goes back to March too, so I'll try and rip them for download here.

I loaded it for use with ITV which was rubbish. This show went straight to mediaplayer?

Were you watching live? That would probably explain it.

The archive files all need silverlight as far as I can see, and they're not working for me at all.

I've been trying to get the videos ripped from the presstv archive, but none of them work - can anyone else see them?

Here's yesterday's Real Deal for example. It says that 56 have watched it, but it simply doesn't work for me. I've tried silverlight vids on other sites and they're fine.

I'm watching it now. I've never liked his Real Deal shows - they always seem so amateur compared to his radio show.

I'll see if I can download them somehow...

cool, that would be smashing. I think they must have an IP block on my ISP or something. If anyone in the UK is using Virgin, can you test it?

it's some kind of new 'standard' thing designed just for streaming. It's quite good, but it seems to be all about protecting content, which makes it a bugger...

ok, they Press TV pages now have the shows available for direct download, as you can see here:



I've grabbed them all and am uploading them to Humyo so that they can be watched in a playlist and I'll be extracting the individual interviews from the shows too.
