Advantages: Can catch up with shows that you've missed or just watch TV!

Disadvantages: The shows do get taken off

This is amazing! i'm so happy it exists it makes life so much easier. You no longer have to feel annoyed if you've missed your favourite show because it's all available online whenever you're ready to watch it! Nothing on TV that you want to watch no worries just go to iplayer and you can search for shows to watch. It's all free and you don't need to sign up to anything. You can also watch shows in high definition which is brilliant. There are sometimes interruptions but that's only if you have a slow internet connection. Another great feature that they recently added is that you can watch it live. Say your kids or partner are watching a different channel instead of arguing about who gets to watch what they want simply go onto the iplayer website and watch it on there. They have bbc one, two and three and all without adverts! There really isn't anything bad about this website. They have everything they would show on normal TV and there are show for the whole family. Ok one bad thing is that the show isn't on there forever, it's on the site for a couple of weeks but there are plenty of time for you to catch up on your missed shows. If you know you won't be able to watch it for a while no worries, just download it and it will be available for you to watch for up to a month.

The site is well organised, you can search by channel, category, or just type it into the search bar. There are also radio shows that you can listen to. It's very user friendly and if you leave a show halfway through it remembers where you were and you can carry on watching it later from where you left it. It keeps a record of shows you've already seen and it also has recommendations and related shows.

Summary: A genius application you don't even need a TV anymore!
