BBC iPlayer to launch on 27 July
27th July 2007. Remember this date. Internet TV is about to grow up. The BBC's on demand service, called iPlayer.
You might be surprised at my enthusiasm for this service. Why? well other providers have certainly got services up and running, but the BBC offering is going to blow them away - assuming it can handle tthe demand - for one single reason : content.
BBC News Release
So what will the BBC iPLAYER allow viewers to do:
- iPlayer will allow viewers to catch up on TV programmes for seven days
- Some TV series can be downloaded and stored for 30 days
- Viewers will be able to watch shows streamed live over the internet
- Users will not be able to download programmes from other broadcasters
- Classical recordings and book-readings are excluded from iPlayer
