It looks like BBC have beefed up the protection and platform, when I tried to download Top Gear using windows XP. They have done away with the Peer To Peer download and gone direct, which gave me difficulties downloading the file to the harddrive. When I tried it on Vista, it didn't ask me to download the new software.
Also The BBC radio stations have also had a face lift.
