The distinction is completely blurred with modern technology though.

The BBC is clean, free, no software required, great thinking imo.


and everytime you watch something you have to click a box and enter your password etc, Iplayer is much better

That sounds like a great idea. Wonder if 4oD will be available soon too.

Maybe this can be another route for the Wii too, almost like a media center.

The BBC's iPlayer video service will soon be available via the Nintendo Wii.

The video download and streaming service that lets people catch up with BBC programmes will soon be a channel on the hugely popular game console. Early versions of the service will be available from 9 April but more polished software will be released as the service is developed.

The news comes as the BBC reveals a steep rise in the numbers of people using the iPlayer.

"The BBC's catch-up TV service can now be accessed on an increasing number of different platforms - from the web and portable devices to gaming consoles," said Erik Huggers, BBC's group controller for Future Media and Technology, announcing the deal in a speech at the MipTV-Milia conference in Cannes.

Now that is good news. I regularly view the iplayer on my PC, but dont tend to use it on my MCE in the lounge cos surfing the net is a PITA. Hopefully the wii will make this easier then.
