At , Jeremy Kirk has a detailed feature called 主播大秀's iPlayer Takes Online Video Programming To The Edge, with lots of quotes from iPlayer nabob Anthony Rose, stats and DRM observations:
But over the last 10 months, the iPlayer has seen major upgrades to the way it can deliver video, video quality and compatibility with an ever-expanding number of mobile devices, putting the iPlayer on the forefront of Internet video delivery. The 主播大秀 is solving many of the problems with online video delivery that have vexed other services around the world.
There's also a to iPlayer from Audit Bureau of Circulations chief exec Chris Boyd in Media Guardian:
I love the iPlayer; I just think it's amazing. About two years ago I tried to use the ITV equivalent, which would never download, and then over Christmas my daughter and I wanted to watch separate programmes at the same time and a friend of hers told her that the iPlayer was very good. Since then I've used it pretty much every week.

Finally, you can enjoy the slightly uneasy and voyeuristic experience of seeing what people are about iPlayer in the new feed on Internet Blog's :
- Watching Humphrey Littleton's last I'm Sorry I Haven't Clue on iPlayer ()
- Watching the 主播大秀 iplayer on my Mac while doing my Sunday family duties. Cooking for 8 today. Pork is in. ()
- I'm impressed they managed to get Dara O'Briain Live at the Theatre Royal on iPlayer. ()
- Surprised to see some films listed on bbc iplayer ()
- Has anyone else noticed that the volume control on the 主播大秀 iPlayer goes "all the way to eleven". ()
- Didn't feel up to Thomas Hardy tonight so will catch Tess of the D'Urbervilles on iPlayer another night. It looks good. ()
- Nice iplayer error message - 'This doesn't seem to be working. Try again later'. Not even a please! ()
- the bbc could do with some of those +1 channels that itv and c4 have. Iplayer, whilst good, looks crap on my lounge TV (via the wii). ()
- @guyweb I don't think the wii iPlayer supports the high-quality feeds that the main iPlayers has, does it? ()

I`m sure this is how most users expect it to behave already! Frankie.Roberto. (link in text above)
I disagree with both Frankie and the 主播大秀.
Most people I see using the 主播大秀 search box expect it to search all the entire wider web, not just the 主播大秀. If they`re looking for a 主播大秀 program then it`d appear at the top of the list anyway.
Many people are not used to using the tabs (or the concept of them) along the top.
Searching the Web should be the default.
