How are these services running on the BB so far? VPNs working fine as well?

I might go ahead and unpack it if I get the all green.

Ok how about this - can anyone list which sites are currently blocked in the browser?

I can't see any 4OD or Five apps in my boxee box, and the iPlayer app functionality is currently rubbish. I really hope that they sort this quickly.

The iPlayer functions in a similar way to the PS3 iPlayer, simple web experience, and has a few bugs like not going full screen when playing (meaning you have to battle with the mouse pointer)

The only content i've tried so far from 4oD took me to the YouTube versions of the content, which was a little frustrating too, again it wasn't full screen and the mouse pointer wouldn't activate the fullscreen button.

Will report more when I've had time to do more testing.

I've had no problems with the 4oD content (at least that which appears under Shows>Channels>Channel Four), it goes fullscreen automatically for me. The only hassle is with age restricted content which brings up a browser window with a button to click to confirm your age before the video will play.

my pptp connection with witopia (manchester server) is working perfectly. The only trouble I have with iPlayer is that it doesn't start a program full screen (BB v1+). However, yesterday I reset the box back to version .9 which does open program full.

The iPlayer app is ok for me but the Channel 4 content is pretty much unwatchable as most of the time everything just freezes up and drops network connection after I click on the age verification button on YouTube.
