It sounds excellent to me.

I used the 4 on demand thingy to catch up on Derren Brown: Trick or Treat last week, and Peep Show of course.

Friday night is a daft time to show 'em i think, their core audience is down the pub.

peep show...quite possibly my favourite comedy show if i was absolutely forced to pick...

yeah, it would be great to see some old classics again...that is - if the beeb hasnt just wiped over them...

I use the 4 on Demand all the time, it's great for watching things that you forget to video, like I did with Derren Brown last week.

I just tried to sign up for the BBC trial but was told I didn't meet their requirements :cry:

Coo, interesting. I wonder if they'll open up the old Horizon programmes. I saw one in the very late 70's called "Now The Chips Are Down" and thought "hmmm, computing looks like a good career." I'd love to see it now.

I wonder if they will team up with BBC America and try and get some of those old programs over here in the U.S.

Ok, so let me get this straight. You can go somewhere and download as much tv footage from BBC and Channel 4....... that has ever been shown......... for free........ as much as you like??

On C4 you can get just about anything from the last week, older than that and you have to pay about 99p for it.

so could someone who was a big reginald perrin fan ("i didn't get where i am today by being a reginald perrin fan...") see every episode from the 70s again?

I have used 4 on demand but every now and again it accuses me of living outside of the British Isles and won't let me watch anything. I wanted to download this Paul Zenon programme.

Ahh I stand no chance of using it because, for some reason, it's not Mac compatible.
