Watch BBC HD TV on your computer using the latest iPlayer

April 17, 2009 in Media players | Permalink

The problem with BBC HD scheduling is that some of your favourite TV programmes are not always simultaneously broadcast on the HD channel at the same time as BBC1 or BBC2. This is due to the BBC only having one channel for HD content. However, the BBC iPlayer is a fantastic application that enables you to to watch BBC programmes you've either missed or forgot to record, again, at a later date. You can catch up with missed episodes of Eastenders using the iPlayer.

iPlayer will contain HD content going forward, which means that the forthcoming Dragon's Den, due to be filmed in HD, can be streamed and played through iPlayer on your computer. If you have a computer connected to your TV, you can stream HD programmes directly through your HD television. This includes your Mac, too, as there is a Mac version of iPlayer.

I am glad they are making a MAC version because what it seems like to me is that programs or hardware that are being made for use of our media centers (being our computers) there are not much to be found for macs, thanks to APPLE though we got success

There are few programs for mac's Because few people have or want them, ie: no money in writing for anything other than IBM based systems.

PS
There are a lot of mac's in schools because they got them for free. Not because they [mac's] where better.
