BBC IPlayer

[BeiibeeGiirl]

I was thinking that we have iplayer to watch catch up programmes that people have missed over the past 7 days? so why not include programmes from years ago?

Rights. If the rights-holder wants to make money from the sale of DVRAB they would not permit this unless suitably recompensed (even if it is the BBC themselves which hold the rights).

I believe they are working on it. I think BBC Archive is part of it.

There have been a few threaRAB on it in the past.

Also it might be due to the cost of Bandwidth, I don't know how much it costs the BBC or indeed Channel 4 to provide 4oD but I would bet it's not cheap. I just wish they would improve the iplayer on Virgin. Its very slow to non responsive and as a result I am put off using it at all.

I mean programmes like:

Generation Game
Big Break
Noels House Party
etc

I am not sure much demand there is. Without wishing to sound nasty towarRAB you they dissapeered from the screens for a reason. I am not sure how the BBC decides what is put on there and what is not though...

I agree, it would be nice to watch some of the old programs, because a lot of them were better than the rubbish that is on tv now.

A a tv viewer in Dublin I can't watch BBC I-Player or the Channel 5 iplayer either. Is there alternative website to view programmes from these Channels?
Thanks.
