You View customers will be happy to hear that they will now be able to access the BBC iplayer & red button function via their You View boxes. Before now this function has been missing and it is no surprise that it has now been added, what with the rise of viewers accessing on demand TV and watching their favourite programs when they want to.

What to expect from BBC iPlayer:

• Watch programs going back 30 days using a easy to use home page
• View shows only shown on the updated BBC iPlayer such as Doctor Who Extra
  
  
• thumb through new categories such as docs, food & drink, Arts and History programs pls more. 
  
  
• search using series, season, event or theme.

It has been a necessary upgrade from You View, and much needed. With the increased use of internet TV and the ability to access more of the TV programs when and where the viewing public want, it is the wrong time to be behind the curve with so many big players vying for the attention of hungry online Television viewers.

At one time it the idea of pausing live TV seemed a far off dream. The thought that one could just press pause and the live television program would freeze exactly where you want seemed an impossibility, yet thats how more and more of UK residents are doing. Also, is the rise in downloading box sets from their providers and of also recording TV programs for future viewing pleasure.

With our lives becoming ever busier the use of the live pause or record option available to most subscribers to both paid and free to air TV is becoming more of a requirement and less of a luxury. Being able to use these options makes it more likely that when you have time to view TV we will have at least a few recorded programs to choose from instead of aimlessly channel hopping. There is no need to be subscribed to a pay Tv service such as Virgin, Sky or BT Vision as there is that option for the Free to air TV providers such as Freeview and Freesat. All that is needed is a Digital receiver with the option to record and you to can feel like the privileged few and have your favourite programs recorded for you to watch when your good and ready
