You may be running into the bloody "login to listen thing". As you say,
everything is available via a web browser, e.g. Firefox, but even here in
the UK I have to login to use catch-up - in short, everything that isn't
live streaming of a download requires a login. This really pissed me off
because it means that I can't use my Logitech Touch for catch-up  -
something I could do before BBC I-Player started to demand a login. [*]

The worst thing is that the Beeb have never attempted to explain why a
login became necessary or what benefit they, or anybody else, gets from
it.

[*] is there a LMS plugin I've overlooked that can sidestep the login? I
run LMS on my house server and primarily use the Touch to connect the LMS
data stream to my good old Quad 33/303 stereo system and its pair of
Celestion Ditton speakers.
