4od has finally caught up with the BBC and added a streaming service to its catch-up website. I love the online option to watch programmes again but have never really taken to the downloadable content / filesharing applications that you can install for both services. In the school environment I don’t allow the bbc iplayer of 4od to be installed as I don’t want to be sharing programmes through our bandwidth.
The online streaming opens up a whole new way of watching TV, great at home, instantly available for lessons or work usage and much more useful when working in an environment with multiple computers and classrooms.
Only downside I can see… it now gives people the ability to catch up on Big Brother…
Right, am off to try and block particular programmes.
