You don’t need your PC/Laptop to catch up with the shows you’ve missed and it is easy to control with your Virgin remote. Plus the great news is that whichever Virgin Media television package you choose (there are three to select from) you will have BBC iPlayer included. If you need to know a bit more about exactly what the BBC iPlayer is, it is a really nice online console which stores almost all of the BBC programmes from the last 7 days (including radio shows). With the iPlayer you can simply search by television/radio channel, day of the week or genre to find exactly what you are looking for. There is even the possibility to catch up with all of some BBC series on iPlayer too. You can even watch HD content that is available from the BBC perfect for making the most of your high definition television set.

If you like the idea of BBC iPlayer on Virgin Media then you may like to know that with Virgin Media television you also get access to catch-up services from Channel 4 and ITV also.

Get BBC iPlayer on your Nokia N96

The BBC iPlayer catch up TV service available over the internet is now available on the Nokia N96 mobile phone handset.

The service has been available via the Nokia N96 since 1 October 2008 via two methods: either using a free download from the BBC iPlayer website, or pre-loaded on some Nokia handsets. Get BBC iPlayer on your Nokia N96 nokia-n96-bbc-iplayer-on-demand-tv

This is the first time BBC iPlayer has been available on a handset to actually download TV programmes - although it is available via the Apple iPhone and iTouch, that is for streaming programmes only.

Any cost may depend on the contract you have with your mobile phone network provider - though Nokia themselves are offering free access to the BBC iPlayer service.
