iPlayer in Facebook link-up
The BBC has teamed up with internet sites Facebook and Twitter to allow iPlayer users to share favourite shows and recommend them to others as part of a major revamp of the on-demand service.
Other innovations will allow viewers to book programmes to download in advance, channel hop quickly and, eventually, search for programmes on other channels. The new version of iPlayer will also mean users can store their favourites and create their own user IDs, allowing them to log on to other computers to access the shows they want.
The iPlayer launched in 2007 and allows viewers to watch shows which have been screened in the past week.
