Title: Channel 4 to offer 99p downloads
Post by: Clive on November 15, 2006, 16:31

Channel 4 is to offer a "catch-up" service for viewers by offering much of its programming online for 30 days after transmission for 99p per episode.

Looks OK at first, but most of what little is worth watching on Channel 4 is repeated over and over again on More 4 and (to a lesser extent) E4 so, with Freeview boxes available for as little as £20.00, it would probably work out a lot cheaper to buy a digi box.

That's true, but isn't it sods law that the one thing you missed, and had wanted to see, is NEVER repeated?  ':|
