Hi there out in Blog land. I’m sure there are many people out there who use Iplayer, the BBCs catch up service powered through the internet. We could never have done it back in the dialup days. It would have been very slow and of very poor quality. Now in these days of Broadband and very fast speeds, we can get our programmes we missed from the BBC at very fast speeds.
We can even access programmes on the Wii and PS3, meaning we can watch them on our televisions, great stuff. I find Iplayer and other related services are great for when you’ve missed a show you really wanted to see. I’ve been watching Episodes, the new comedy series starring Matt Le Blanc. There was one week when I missed an episode, so had to go on Iplayer to see it. The loading speeds take a bit of time depending on your internet connection. It doesn’t matter how long you wait really, it is all convenience at the end of the day.
Where can this technology go from here? Well it can go onto function on many different platforms in the future. We are already seeing it on Freesat but you have to be connected to the internet to access it.
I’m currently in the middle of watching Home Improvement, the 90s Comedy series starring Tim Allen. It got me thinking that maybe one day we will be able to get any show ever made on demand. We’ve already seen this through 4OD but it is not comprehensive enough a catalogue to be really on demand.
Anyway, I shall end this post, thanks for reading!
