BBC iPlayer

BBC iPlayer Beta will let you download a wide range of BBC television programmes for free from the last seven days.

The programmes you choose to download are stored in your BBC iPlayer Library on your computer for up to 30 days. You then have up to seven days to watch them. Once you download them you don’t have to be on the internet to watch them when it suits you. We’re still testing BBC iPlayer and making improvements and for that we need your help. If you’re based in the UK and aged over 16, you can apply to join the BBC iPlayer Beta and be part of one of the most exciting new developments in broadcasting.

Requirements: Windows XP/Vista, Internet Explorer 6 browser (or later), Windows Media Player 10 (or later). Currently, BBC iPlayer Beta isn’t available for Apple Macintosh computers or Microsoft Windows Vista. You also need to be based in the UK.
