Bbc Iplayer On Sky

[rockyracoon]

Who decides what programmes are uploaded to the iPlayer, the Beeb or Sky? I'm pee'd off as last nights Salamander is not on there but it's on the regular iPlayer on the PC. I hate watching TV on the computer.

Grrr!

[Zacs-Master]

Are you sure? I'm fairly sure the iplayer is the iPlayer, whether you access it from your PC or TV.

[rockyracoon]

Definitely not on there, and I did a search which threw up episodes 1-4 in on demand and 7 and 8 for next Saturday night.

No it's not, I was watching the motorcycling last year on the I-player via PC, so though I swap to the TV via a PS3, it wasn't there at all.

[Frank97]

That was to Zacs.

[Zacs-Master]

Oh right.

[Mick-the-Miller]

The episodes from the 15/2 and the 8/2 are there - I think last nights episodes are not there yet.

Have another look later.

[rockyracoon]

I'll try later, other stuff from yesterday is there and even from today.

[rockyracoon]

Sorry, thanks all.

Mick is your username after the greyhound?

It's probably a rights issue.

Skyline Entertainment made the series. When they sold it to the BBC they may have had to exclude the right to allow the programmes to be seen via Sky's equipment because of pre-existing agreements with other broadcasters. So neither the BBC nor Sky would have any control over the matter.

[rockyracoon]

But episodes 1-4 or on the iPlayer (Sky), would a rights issue come down to individual episodes?

[Buenchico]

>>>would a rights issue come down to individual episodes?

Probably not. Either
(a) someone has just spotted that the programme should never have been available via Sky in the first place (and 'pulled the plug' on future episodes) ; or
(b) someone simply omitted to click a mouse button to add Ep.5 to the Sky listings.

Thanks Chris, I'm trying to find an email address to get someone to click a button to put the episodes on :)
