The quietest (Mega)Lounge yet? Ever?

As I’ve made my way up through the lounges, I’ve discovered – as you’d expect – that each has been quieter than the one that preceded it. Does this trend continue, I wonder: do we end with somebody (Greypo, I guess!) talking to themselves? Or is the “dip” here in IX a temporary thing, because IX is so-clearly a “passing-through” place as people work their way up to the fabled X.

I’m not sure. But I’m hoping to find out.

Can I watch live on BBC iPlayer?

Probably a stupid question, but I almost never use iPlayer. This time last year, I had to dig out my (small-but-digital-capable) television from the attic and hook it up, at the last minute, rather than watching on the large-but-not-digital television attached to my computer.

So what I’m asking is: is iPlayer going to work, or should I start trying to dig through the boxes in my attic to find the television that’s up there?
