Freeview look set to rescue the armchair iPlayer enthusiast by building iPlayer funtionality into Freeview set top boxes by Christmas.
For now the only TV provider to support the iPlayer was Virgin Media who were able to add access thanks to their fast cable TV and broadband network. Most of us have to huddle around a laptop to watch iPlayer at the moment rather than enjoy it on our main TV set.
The Freeview version will use your broadband connection to deliver the BBC’s ground breaking video on demand service to your main TV. The recent launch of HD TV content on iPlayer also means this will be a great way to get free HD programmes and sport.
However, you’ll need to make sure you have a broadband package that has a very large download limit as using iPlayer will use lots more data.
