The BBC's proposed iPlayer service, offering catch-up TV via the web and cable TV, will be re-engineered to work with Apple Macs and would eventually roll out to digital terrestrial TV (DTT) and set-top boxes. A pilot test of the on-demand service is scheduled to begin with 20,000 UK subscribers later this year. The service will be available only in Britain and users will be able to catch up on any show aired in the last seven days. The trial will have only 50 hours of programming publicly available, but a closed beta will have over 1,000 hours. The BBC said it planned to offer the service first on computers running the Windows operating system and then on cable TV and other platforms such as Apple Macs, media centre PCs and smart handheld devices, such as mobiles or PDAs. |
