Online TV and Radio Resources
While you're in the UK you can take advantage of quite a lot of free online content provided by the major terrestrial channels in this country. The BBC iPlayer site has TV and radio shows that can be streamed or downloaded (with a fast enough internet connection). You'll need to download some simple software to download programmes, but it's easy to do and instructions are on the site. 4OD is Channel 4's TV and film on-deman website, and contains a range of programmes and movies, some of which you have to pay for. Most Channel 4 programmes from the past week are available for free, though, and so too are previous episodes of these shows (something the BBC don't offer). Unfortunately (or fortunately for me maybe), I don't watch much on ITV, so I've never used the imaginatively named ITV Player, but it appears to work in much the same way as the other major channels' websites. Just don't try to talk to me about Britain's Got Talent. Finally, if you're after some more academic audio to listen to, you can read a post I wrote last summer here...when I get the time I'll have a look for more of this kind of thing. Happy viewing...
