Channel 4 to offer 99p downloads
Channel 4 will soon be offering a catch up download service from 99p per episode.
Each programme will “disappear” from users’ computers 48 hours after they start to watch it. It will be kept in a personalised library until it is first viewed, and then can be accessed an unlimited number of times during that two-day period.
It promised that numerous classic series would be available when the service launches on 6 December, including dramas GBH, Teachers and Queer as Folk. Peep Show, Spaced, Whose Line is it Anyway? and US import The Daily Show would be listed in its comedy line-up. Whether the videos will be viewable on an iPod Video are unknown at this time.
