UPDATE -BBC ON DEMAND SERVICE

The BBC has now gained approval from its trust to proceed with the launch of an on demand type service.

The BBC will provide the facility to catch up on programmes and also to view the many hours of comedy and drama etc from its archives.

We look forward to many hours of Thunderbirds and Crackerjack then !

Well its either that or bring back Peyton Place - Mind you the quality will need cleaning (and I never mentioned acting) for your new HDTV television.

Wait For Sony PS3 Proves Its Worth!

With the London Launch of the Playtstation 3 at the Virgin MegaStore there was a queue of people who had waited for many hours to be the first to own the NEW Playstation 3.

Sony really offered those top 100 dedicated Playstation fanatics a real perk when they gave those first 100 a free SONY BRAVIA HD Television worth £2500 each.

So how will Microsoft or Nintendo top that with their next product launch following on from the XBOX360 or Nintendo WII?

Well the future of TV as we know it looks set to change over the next few years with yet another major company offering an on demand service.

The BBC has recently begun discussions with the BBC Trust, their governing body, to approve such a scheme which would enable people to access programmes and store them on a local PC for upto 30 days.

The developement of the Broadband era is leading the technology and enabling viewers to download files for a 30 mins VHS quality programme in around 15mins on a 1Mb/sec connection.

With Channel 4 On Demand service already in operation it will mean a lot more control for the viewer.

In the future the the Television Companies will have to be more and more inventive in their approach to their audience !
