Nonsense, by that logic we would still only have 1 bbc radio channel. Also whilst the article says that for now only the flash video version will work on the wii, the "news" is that IPlayer will be available as a wii channel in the UK allowing both streaming and downloading content, Of course were this will be stored on the hard disk less wii is another matter.
