Free UK TV Streaming and ‘Recording’
UPDATE 23/02/2008 :- Looks like this site has been closed now.
TVCatchup.com is a fairly new service which allows users to watch content from 23 free-to-air UK TV channels which includes all the major channels, BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, etc.
Once you have signed up you can use the TV schedule to set things to ‘record’ in your own private space which once recorded and encoded as flash video can be streamed directly from the site. It does the series link thing so you can get it to record a whole series and never miss an episode.
You can also watch loads of other archived shows which basically means you can watch anything, anyone has marked to ‘record’ as far as I can tell. It seems the only content not available is stuff that nobody wanted to watch in the first place. 
TVCatchup claim that the site is legal but I’m not entirely sure how long they will last against the lawyers once things really kick off. It seems they are positioning themselves as a personal online recording service to comply with the time-shifting exemption of the Copyright Act yet I’m not sure how well this would stand up to scrutiny.
Never mind, it works, it’s pretty slick and it actually puts the efforts of the TV companies to shame in terms of ease of use, quality and scope of content. If you want to catch up on a few shows you missed then this is a pretty good option. I believe they are IP filtering so only for UK residents unless someone tells me otherwise.
I was a subscriber to Live TV UK, so that I could watch Sky Sports News streamed online. Unfortunately, I am out two month’s subscription fee, which I doubt I’ll get back. Sure wish there was an alternative for a non-UK resident to watch SSN online.
Hey, you know what? The theory that IsoftwareTV was just another scam product, was totally wrong! Isoftwaretv really works! From here I can see all kinds of tv-shows, sports, movies, news, etc. There is really a great diversity in types of TV shows to choose from.
For the cost of this product, you get your moneys worth. I bought it mainly for movie watching but found out that its also great for video games.
This was obvious a brilliant post, and that’s always good to see. You need time to create that informative and in addition lots of effort to create a brilliant article.
