Normally, people would associate download videos and music from the Internet without paying a single cent from Torrent sites, as well as a host of other providers-piracy, but what happens when the legitimate company lets you do all that without forking any dough? BBC had done exactly that launches online video service, which allows subscribers to download a wide range of television programming for free, since last week. There are more than 400 hours of programmes to choose from - that number is approximately equivalent to 60% to 70% of the total TV output. You can not just get the third line, as the media, even hit shows, such as the planet Earth will be provided. The service is currently free of charge and can be downloaded here, but unfortunately, there are currently limited to those who live in the UK only.

These download software stored on the computer, where the BBC iPlayer Library will coordinate each show. Shows will be automatically deleted after viewing, and if you leave this meeting idly on your hard disk, iPlayer will be removed, after 30 days duration depends. Special copyright protection software designed to prevent copying shows, but my feeling is in the gut, someone circumvent that sooner or later. Currently, the BBC iPlayer Library compatible with the Microsoft Windows XP operating system, Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player 10 (or above) only. Looks like the tables are now turned on the TV broadcast, as they must provide viewers with what they want these days, instead of dictating viewers in the early days of TV networks.

Currently, just download video services are available from Channel 4 and ITV, so that the BBC is rather late to the scene. With the ability to store what we want to see at a later time, I am afraid it will achieve nothing more than an accumulation of a large backlog that will never be cleared.
