No More Bbc I Player For Us!
The BBC has announced that it will no longer be possible for viewers to watch the BBC i Player on PC's and Macs.

So this is serving the public is it.I used to enjoy watching past programmes,and those that I had recently missed,but no more after 11th March.
As usual with the BBC they give a weak and feeble excuse.
Any views guys?

Aunty Beeb is NOT removing her iPlayer functionality from PCs and Macs.
You'll STILL be able to use it to watch live programming AND to STREAM 'catch-up' programming with it.
All that's going is the ability to DOWNLOAD content for watching at a later time when there's no internet connection available. Such a facility can be useful for someone who, say, wants to download a TV programme to their phone (or other mobile cevice), so that they can watch it later on when travelling on a train (where there might not be a reliable internet signal). However it's largely useless to people using PCs and Macs, as their machines will normally have a good internet connection at all times, so they can simply stream the content without needing to download it to their computers.
So you'll still be able to get your regular fix of CBeebies Bedtime Stories, or, indeed, whatever else takes your fancy, Gordon 📺 😊
