The BBC today introduced an updated version of the BBC iPlayer, which fully combines radio and TV in one interface.

The BBC iPlayer is an Internet-based on-demand catch-up service for BBC media, and is available on PC, Mac, Linux, Virgin Media, Apple iPhone & iPod touch and Nintendo Wii.

The BBC reports that it has served over 100 million program requests via iPlayer since it launched. 

“The next generation of BBC iPlayer allows UK licence fee payers to catch up on their favourite BBC TV and radio programmes in one place – a completely unique on-demand service,” says the BBC’s Erik Huggers. ”Audiences are now able to experience the full range of BBC content – some 250 TV programmes currently available each week as well as all the BBC radio networks – in a new and more accessible way, and all for free.”

  1. I’d like to download the videos on the BBC learning English.com website, such as The teacher and some programmes from de BBC TV to reinforce my English studies.

    Yes Teresa you spelt ‘the’ as ‘de’, its wrong so i guess the English language programs would be useful.

    Somebody makes a mistake in a geometry proof, and it goes viral that “geometry is bogus.” That is what happened with Western astrology. It never changed for 2000 years and did not factor in the precession of the earth’s axis. But astrology is not Western astrology, any more than geometry is a mistaken proof.
    Most people who use astrology use sidereal astrology. It is based on the scripture of the Vedas, where the language of God was communicated in the stars and planets to describe the life. It is called Vedic astrology and it always has and still does account for the precession.
    The argument agains Vedic astrology is an argument by atheists against religion. Is it possible for people to intuit the true message of God and write the bible? Is it possible for other people to intuit the true message of God and write an astronomically correct system to tell the full story of each individual life? Yes it is, unless you are an atheist, or unless you are prejuduced against a particular religion, namely Hinduism.
