[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 534772, member: 259515"] [IMG]http://mos.techradar.com//images/virginmedia-200-200.jpg[/IMG] Virgin Media has released its figures for use of BBC's iPlayer over their cable boxes - and there have been an impressive 10.5 million views since it arrived in June. The BBC iPlayer has been a huge hit on multiple platforms, but the move into the cable market - where access is through the red button or the EPG - has been a big hit. Virgin Media has 3.5 million TV customers, which suggests that an average of 3 programmes per viewer has been streamed via the service. [B]Two Pints of Larger and a Packet of Crisps[/B] Favourites like Eastenders and Doctor Who topped the charts for the most watched programmes, although the presence of Two Pints of Larger and a Packet of Crisps at six (and ahead of The Apprentice) is slightly worrying. "These early figures indicate a real appetite from viewers to access BBC iPlayer via their TVs and catch-up on their favourite programmes from the comfort of their living room," said BBC Controller of TV Platforms Rahul Chakkara. "This initial success on Virgin Media,underlines the multi-platform appealof BBC iPlayer proposition."
