Free TV Catch Up Services

Did you see that? Well the good news is that even if you didn’t see that, you most likely still can thanks to the TV catch up services now offered by the main terresterial broadcasters.

BBC - The BBC has iPlayer, which lets you download selected show from the last week and keep them for a further week. The software and various logins are clunky and it only works on XP, but once you start using it and find your feet, it’s really useful.

ITV - ITV.com has an integrated Flash based video player which lets you watch live TV or selected shows from the ITV archives.

Channel 4 - Channel 4 has launched 40D, which is similar to iPlayer except you get 30 days to download programs and you can also pay for movies and classic show downloads.
