Advantages: Multiple episodes of kids shows are on here

Disadvantages: Crashes a lot (read my review on how to fix)

The concept behind the Iplayer is that it's a website you can visit that has hundreds of the latest shows available for instant viewing. So, if you missed Eastenders last night, or want something for the kids to watch, it has it all.

We use it mostly for our 2 year old. We don't have a TV, or any children's DVDs, and just put a bit of Postman Pat, Chuggington or Big Cook Little Cook on for him every now and again.

The only downside is that the BBC don't make many shows I enjoy - Dragons' Den and The Apprentice (when they're on) are pretty much all we watch.

They recently added a radio section, so if you missed a show you can listen when you want too.

The site regularly crashes, and a little box pops up saying 'error' on nearly everything I watch. The trick here is not to 'x' the box, but to move it out of the way and carry on watching your programme. If you 'x' the box it will close everything down, but if you just move it it will still work.

Summary: The internet is taking over!
