TV catch up, Live streaming UK

**jimbojambo** · January 22nd, 2009, 07:52 AM

I'm sorry if this has already been mentioned, I have been using tvcatchup.com to stream and watch live content to my computer.

I added this post the other day and the admin seemed pretty positive about a partnership.

someone please develop this.

This looks very interesting, have to ask though - what would be in it for them?

**jimbojambo** · January 26th, 2009, 05:34 AM

They would draw more people into there service, they embed adverts just before you connect to the stream. So an increase in revenue.

I posted on there forum as well.

Sounds awesome, and would be all the decent channels added in one go!

the more votes the more likely something might happen..

as marcel said, you can vote on this at getsatisfaction.com/boxee or maybe one of the excellent guys at boxeehq.com might want to pick this up.

Hey jimbojambo, on a personal note I think this is an amazing project somewhat like TVCatchup, and being a moderator on TVCatchup I really hope that something can be arranged between the sites. Things are really going to take off over the next month on TVCatchup, the only drawback that I can see is what jimbojambo highlights that most of our members are windows users including myself, any news on this and how long you will be in beta for?

Looking a great site guys, keep up the good work

Nice idea. I was thinking it'd be good to have a plugin for the each UK catchup service (channel 4, five, iTV) separately but if this site is going to always have them all then I guess a single plugin is best.
