No we don't use that directly we do partially support the MHEG 
Interactive Channel which brings with it the iPlayer stuff among other 
things but only using the data provided through the red button service.

It's a while since I tried it but both the FreeSat and Freeview red 
button service seems to be broken at the moment.
