Since 1993, I think. Maybe it was 1994. Just after I joined ANU Computer
Services, anyway. Slackware on about 30 1.4MB floppies.

Re iView: You can retrofit Chrome's Pepper into Chromium with very
little effort; google it.

Alternatively you can use wget to first download a list of available
programs, then download the ones you want using the secret URLs in the
list :-) You end up with MP4 files that you can view over and over
again, whenever you like! Yes! The ABC do not like this, apparently, to
which I respond that if they choose to use ridiculously restive
proprietary formats and protocols for their delivery, then I choose to
ignore their instructions.

Get in touch if you want more info.
