More Free TV From Channel 4

Jun

You will soon be able to watch every episode of certain Channel 4 programmes, like Father Ted, for free online.

Currently viewers can watch most programmes for 30 days after they have been aired. PC uses have also had access to some extra content through the downloadable 4OD application.

From July Channel 4 will be making available more than 4,000 hours of archived content on its 4OD catch-up service. This content will be made available to PC, Mac and Linux users.

However, some of Channel 4’s content will not be made available online because of rights issues. For example, American shows like Friends will not be included. But who hasn’t seen every episode a million times anyway.

The full service is expected to be launched on the 3rd of July.

Also, watch out for Hulu, the excellent US video site, which may be coming out in the UK later in the year.

Remember!

You do not need a TV license to use this service, but if you watch live TV you do!
