Watching tv via games console
The BBC has announced a surge in iPlayer console use over the past few months.
“The final two weeks of December 2009 saw a huge increase for people accessing BBC programmes through their games console,” the BBC said in a press release as the on-demand service broke 100 million requests for programmes in a month for the first time. “One in eight of all TV requests are now coming from either a Nintendo Wii or Sony PS3 console, which is an increase of 74% since November 2009.”
The free service, which is now available on more than 20 devices, allows people to catch up with BBC programmes using their TV, mobile phone or computer.
It has been available on Wii for some time and on PS3 since November 2009, but a deal to bring iPlayer to Xbox 360 is reportedly being held back because of Microsoft's policy of charging for all content on Xbox Live.
