The BBC has been accused of forcing people to use Microsoft operating systems and has been threatened with a complaint to the European Commission.
The charge concerns the use of Microsoft technology in the corporation's forthcoming iPlayer.
The web service, set for launch later this year, allows viewers to watch shows up to 30 days after broadcast.
The BBC has said it does intend to allow access to its content from computers with other operating systems.
A statement from the organisation read: "The BBC aims to make its content as widely available as possible and has always taken a platform agnostic approach to its internet services.
"It is not possible to put an exact timeframe on when BBC iPlayer will be available for Mac users. However, we are working to ensure this happens as soon as possible and the BBC Trust will be monitoring progress on a six monthly basis."
