On my 8.04 system, the page says I need the latest Flash.  (I'm using 
flashplugin-nonfree 
10.0.1.218+10.0.0.525ubuntu1~hardy1+really9.0.124.0.0ubunut2).

When I try to install the latest Flash from the Adobe site, I get an 
error saying that I'm attempting to install a version that's older than 
the in the repository.  The Adobe version is 10.0.15.3-1hardy1;  the 
Hardy repo version is 10.0.15.3-1hardy2.

Have you folks who've tried iPlayer-desktop come across this issue?  How 
did you deal with it?
