Online TV and TV content online

BBC iPlayer

BBC iPlayer is a service available via website, P2P, cable television, and several mobile devices developed by the BBC to extend its existing RealPlayer-based "Radio Player" and other streamed video clip content. BBC iPlayer is free for viewers to use.

BBC iPlayer began to add new features to make their online tv provider unique. A new feature, Series Stacking, was announced. This feature allows viewers to watch previous programmes from selected series until the series has ended, with a limit of up to thirteen weeks after first broadcast. This is obviously a good feature that viewers may not be able to access on their televisions. More developments were made and they incorporated high-definition streams and downloads of some content on the iPlayer. BBC iPlayer introduced a steaming version of iPlayer where offers replays of programmes broadcast on all BBC TV channels during the last seven days.

I found this news bulletin about BBC iPlayer which I found particulary helpful and interesting, this is highlighting how iPlayer is changing.
