channel4.com/4od (Channel 4 on Demand)

I have covered two out of the four terrestrial TV networks online programme players and have left my favourite one till last to review - Channel 4's On Demand, or 4OD as it is more commonly known as. Out of all the networks on terrestrial TV the majority of shows I watch are on Channel 4, BBC offer a higher quality of programming and their iplayer is superb and got a 5 star rating from me but Channel 4 offers me the type of programme I like to watch and their online service is the one most watched by me. What sets their service apart from the BBC's is that their programmes are available without a time limit which means that whole series of shows are available ...  Read the complete review

I use Channel 4's on demand service, which is affectionately titled 4OD regularly when I'm bored or trying to kill some time, or need to catch a programme that I've missed. It's available from two methods to the best of my knowledge: On channel 4's website or via the Virgin Media on demand service. With the latter however you can only search the last week unless it's a popular series. As it's something for free I can't really feel unfavourable towards it. Not that I need to as it does it very well. The picture quality is good and it streams well with little or no delay or hold ups when doing so. Another benefit it the size of the library. On the ...  Read the complete review

4od offers you the chance of free tv catch up for a huge variety of channel 4 programmes. Out of all the terrestrial channels, I do think channel 4 has the best programmes and therefore I do prefer 4od other than the other 'catch up' systems out there. What I do like about 4od is that if the programme is available to watch on 4od, you can usually watch all of the previous episodes/series. Brilliant. My favourite 4od programmes are: Ugly Betty, Unreported World, Will and Grace, Peep Show, Balls of Steel, Bob and Margaret, The Family and 8 out of 10 Cats, Other shows include: The IT Crowd, Fonejacker, Its either me or the dog, One Tree ...  Read the complete review

4od really is a great move from channel 4 and it is something that should be followed up by the other major broadcasters in my opinion. Info ---- 4od or channel 4 on demand is a download available for free of the channel 4 website. It takes about 1 hour or so to download and then about 20 minutes to install, but its well worth the wait. 4od allows you to search a variety of channel 4 programs that have ever appeared on the show, meaning that you can watch anything from old episodes of peep show to Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares or the F word, completely free. You can either download the program on to your hard drive, which ...  Read the complete review

Well, here I am back on Dooyoo after almost a month away. I have spent a lot of the last month working and doing work for university, so I've had a lot less time to spend on here, but to be honest I've still spent a lot of time messing about and doing very little. This time usually involves spending time with my friends, or sitting in my room watching DVDs and videos online. It is therefore unsurprising that 4od is one of my major ports of call when planning a lazy night in, as it is one of the best sites to watch a wide selection of entertaining TV shows. For those of you who don't know, 4od is where you can watch old episodes of lots of Channel 4's best (and ...  Read the complete review
