BBC On Demand TV
November 18th, 2005
The BBC is running a trial of their Internet Media Player (iMP) which offers on demand TV and radio programmes for up to seven days after they have been broadcast.
iMP is based on P2P technology and has DRM (Digital Rights Management). The downside is that the DRM ensures the downloaded shows are deleted from your PC seven days after the broadcast date. But it does support the transfer of content to portable devices.
The trial is currently only under Windows but if the service is approved, it could soon be available on other platforms such as OS X and Linux.
If you are interested in participating in the trial, you can express your interest on the iMP’s registration page.
