TV on demand down my DSL!

This should be interesting. I just got into a new beta for on-demand TV! Here's the message I received today:

"Thank you for your interest in participating in the iMP content trial. We are looking for 5,000 people across the UK to try out the interactive Media Player, and we are pleased to inform you that you have been selected to be part of this group.

The trial will run from September to November 2005, during this time you will be able to download and view a selection of BBC TV and Radio programmes up to 7 days before they have been broadcast.

As part of this trial you will be required to take part in our research programme which includes recording your overall media consumption and completing surveys throughout the trial relating to the iMP."

I like this bit: BBC TV and Radio programmes up to 7 days before they have been broadcast. It wont stretch to lottery draw or race meets, which is a shame.
