BBC iPlayer allows you to catch up on shows you missed in the last 7 days. I must admit BBC does have alot of competition with ITV and Channel 4.

The idea is simple, if you miss or need to catch up on a BBC program, whether that be Television or radio, you can log onto an online database, which is linked to the BBC Website, and catchup on whatever it was you missed.

Ever since I was eighteen and I first moved out of my parents home and took my little 14" television with me to university, I'd never thought the TV licence was justified, as it was a small amount of choice in a competitive market. I think the iPlayer does bring some justification to the licence fee. The BBC really have tried to ...  Read the complete review

iPlayer is a service which is available on the internet totally free of charge. Well, I say totally free but license payers have already paid for it.

I really like the idea of BBC Iplayer but having a pretty rubbish laptop and Sky+, I'd never really used it that much. The last time I used it was when sky+ failed on a recording of Ashes to Ashes, so we decided to use Iplayer to catch up. Due to said rubbish laptop we couldn't download it and had to watch it as it streamed. It didn't take ...  Read the complete review
