In a move which has been rumoured for sometime the BBC have today released details of their TV download service, iPlayer, which will be launched next week. While initially only 400 hours of program content will be available per week, this figure is set to rise depending on the popularity.At launch the TV data will only be viewable via your PC (or TV screen if the two are linked together) although there are plans to bring out a revised service in the medium term, which would be downloadable direct to your TV. 
Program content will be available up to 7 days after the show has been aired, and downloaded data will be automatically deleted after 30 days. The iPlayer service also includes a high tech anti-piracy system, although how long this will remain “hack proof” remains to be seen, as well as the latest encoder systems to block recording to DVDs. The BBC are expecting up to 500,000 users in the first six months, and in excess of 1,000,000 after the first year. The service itself if very easy to use with the iPlayer only requiring a simple free internet download to activate the service.
