I really dont see the point of these +1 channels anymore

Re: BBC to launch BBC One +1

Personally I find them very useful, on many an occasion I have switched on to find a program I am interested in has started, I can then watch the full program by arranging my time accordingly.

But on the bbc u have iplayer which is on every format going now and pause and rewind on my youview box. But if you have none of them I suppose it would be useful. May be 2 years ago, I just think the bbc are a bit late with this one

You can not get BBC IPlayer in Ireland unless you use alternate means to do so.
and I then can only watch on the Computer.

Re: BBC to launch BBC One +1

I never even thought about that. Ireland is so near to me but entertainment wise it is so far.

I wonder if you put dns settings in your router would you be able to get iplayer etc on a sky box

Re: BBC to launch BBC One +1

Possibly, but as I do not have one I can not check, I can get most of the channels I want FTA.

Me too Mobly , people tend to forget that there are stilll millions viewers who do not have Ipads ,Pc's , HD recorers etc and are not computer literate, especially lots of pensioners like myself. So any easy way of viewing missed TV proggs is always an added bonus.

Re: BBC to launch BBC One +1

Just shows when you look at things from your own perspective and dont consider others how wrong you can. But maxmol you are on a pc.

But on the other hand I just bought a second hand snooker table off peloved had a bit off a chat with the lady over there messaging system. When I got there she was 98 years old with a broken arm
So your never to late to learn even with one arm.

Best wishes

Re: BBC to launch BBC One +1

Excellent news, iplayer is very good but not if you want to watch a program on the same day as the one you have missed, admittedly, you only have an hours grace but often I end up missing a program by an hour or so, so this is great news

Re: BBC to launch BBC One +1

I see the Place Holders have started for the new BBC HD channels on freeview for BBC3 HD and CBBC HD, presumably these will be available also on Freesat from 28.2° east at some point for European viewers. expected launch date is december

Re: BBC to launch BBC One +1

Tv boxes that will record your tv in the UK are so cheap.
Second hand anything from a couple of quid on the car boots, and best of all you will get a sata hdd inside anything from 180 gig to 500 gig and you can program them to do a full series are single event,
So if you get fed up with the box whip the disc out and it becomes handy for a storage device. also new they can be had for under £50.
But not Sky, or BT, or Virgin, because they record in stream.STR. and are only usable with a subscription.
and BT discs are not usable if you take them out of there box they are fully encrypted.
