How long till an open iPlayer box?

Like everyone else in the UK who watches TV, I've been funding BBC iPlayer (and also Creative Archive "initiative") sine 2003, I've still yet to see any accessible version of the iPlayer product available though.

If you have a Freeview decoder you will know the streams are all transmitted over the airwaves in MPEG2 format, with no Digital Restrictions Management impeding the accessibility of the content. BBC iPlayer streams content, post-broadcast, and because of this they argue they need Digital Restrictions to convince rights holders to let them stream -- it is a shame the BBC argeed to this strategy.

What I'd at least like to see now is an iPlayer box, like I have a Freeview and Freesat box (well and our Panasonic TX37LZD81 includes both Freesat HD and Freeview). At roughly the same price point as a router box (£40), just needs the BBC to freely licence iPlayer so vendors can bring to market open iPlayer boxes for us to connect to our TVs ;)
