Advantages: content, speed, simplicity

Disadvantages: none

BBC iPlayer has transformed the way i watch TV. The iPlayer is a way of streaming and downloading BBC programmes. The application provides a massive range of content. There are many times that you miss a program or radio show and are gutted. In the past you would have to wait for it to be repeated, if it ever was. The iPlayer changes all of this by providing access to watch/listen when ever you want either by streaming on-line or downloading it to your computer to watch later. I have only had a few rare problems with programmes, these tend to be with interruptions in internet connection, these are normally resolved by restarting the browser. I like the way you can jump backwards and forwards using the scroll bar to skip boring parts. There are no adverts or advert breaks which is brilliant and this is a major bonus compared to nearly all of the other major channels on-demand services. The iPlayer has changed the way I listen to radio and instead of listening live, I now always listen on-line when I want to listen to it. It is great that you don't have to download the application on to your program or wait ages for the program to load, this service is very fast and very efficient and I am a huge fan.

Summary: great way to watch/listen to what you want, when you want
