I hope they chuck in E4 too, as I tend to watch it more than Channel 4.

Fusen · 23rd Jun 2006, 10:56

nice, I'll watch this over sititng in my lounge watchin it on TV

shame theres no desperate housewives tho :/

also lost doesn't really matter as most fans stay up to date with the US anyway :]

WOOT! C4 FTUU!

Not that I watch TV that much but C4 usually does the foreign films that are subbed late at night.

Bremner, Bird and Fortune available to download? I like this already...

If I'm understanding this correctly all you can do is watch programming whilst it's being shown on TV. This seems a lot less useful than what the Beeb does by allowing you to view programes after they've been shown.

Any1 know what the Quality will be like for streaming services? The BBC world cup footage has been pretty nice (especially when in the office, now i have a use for dual monitors

)though suffers a little from buffering issues and sometimes the ball simply disapears due to its quality. In the end, its free, and thank the beeb for it.

cool we need higher bandwidth to use streaming video properly though.. I would say at least 25mb/s for decent quality.

Leitchy · 23rd Jun 2006, 17:01

? Should'nt be that much surely. For viewing on the pc, anything around a 1000kbps wouild be fine with me, as im not looking for a substitute from watching the tv or a dvd.

Though i only have 1mb/s download speeds I think that streaming it while im not downloading will give me some pretty sweet visuals but not up to full quality because of the connection speed but im not looking for a DVd quality broadcast...

yeh i recon the C4 linup is generally pretty crap, i cant see BBC doing this, atleast with C4 you still get your advertising either way
