[quote]Little Hamster writes "Five thousand households with broadband access has been selected for a trial of the BBC's new interactive Media Player. The trial will run from September to December, and users can 'time shift' and download selected BBC TV shows, radio programmes, regional programming and feature films. After seven days, the content will be automatically deleted from the user's computers. BBC will use this trial to iron out any outstanding rights issues and resolve teething difficulties with the technology ahead of a full launch next year." The BBC Press Office has a release about this as well.[/quote]

    Submitted by me, not accepted. :) Either I didn't get it in quick enough or they liked that person's wording more.

    Don't be so sure. This is slashdot we're talking about.

    The only problem with that is that the time period is rather short...

    I like downloading because I can archive the stuff and view it whenever I want until a DVD version is made available.
