They Just Work[TM] for me. Although I've got a bookmark now to the BBC Radio Player page:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainf...x.shtml?button

One thing to note is that they'll appear as a placeholder grey box and you'll need to double click this box to open the stream in Video Player.

I've certainly watched the video streams of both the Money Programme (after broadcast), and Sunday AM (live).

It might be worth checking your preferences - it sets a cookie saying what format and bandwidth you've got: there should be a link to change what format it gives you.

HTH,

Andrew

Neil- sorry for continuing on this but I am still unable to find where exactly the low-res video option can be set. I did find the link: "Change how I view or hear this" at the bottom left corner of the BBC news player webpage, however, on clicking this, the only options which show up are to select between windows media player and real-player. I also tried deleting cookies on my 770 but that did not help either.

In the video player, minimise to 80% and at the bottom left (?) there should be an option to change video preferences.
