I don’t know about many of you in the UK, by I now do what little TV watching I have time for via the online watch on demand services that the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 offer up.
The only problem I am having with this is that both the BBC’s ‘iPlayer’ and Channel 4′s ’4oD’, have both been suffering from major down time over the last couple of weeks.
The other two services ITV’s ‘Catch Up’ and Channel 5′s ‘Demand Five’ are both working fine though
So what video on demand service are other people in both the UK and word wide using as I really need to find alternate service to use for when these service go down.
Please leave info and links to your favorite Video on Demand service in the comments. Thanks
