The above all use the same [ghastly] DRM and distribution system, i.e.
Windows Media Player DRM, and Kontiki peer-to-peer distribution.

However only Sky Anytime currently has ANY integration in to Media Center
(in that it can play videos inside Media Center, you have to add them in a
separate program).

I don't know for certain but I suspect Sky Anytime will currently only work
in MCE 2005 and not Vista but I believe they are working on a new version.

The BBC iPlayer while based on the same [ghastly] technology currently has
no integration in MCE 2005 or Vista but the BBC have already had requests
for this feature and may [eventually] do it.

The 4oD system again uses the same [ghastly] technology and officially has
no integration with Media Center. However unofficially a plugin has been
developed see http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/1/158980/ShowThread.aspx

Does anyone know where to download this 4oD plugin?

The app has been expanded from the original 4oD to also include BBC & ITV
content.
