Just received my SeeSaw invite but it was in my Spam and I've deleted it by mistake.

I got one I applied for on their website, but not the one from my registered TV Forum email address - but then I only clicked to confirm that one a couple of days ago.

Yay @ the full series of This Life and Day of the Triffids (70s version) - I'll have a proper look later.

Further Content Deals announced today

SeeSaw, the online TV service that will launch in the coming weeks, has unveiled a string of programming deals for shows including Footballers' Wives, The Apprentice, Skins, Neighbours and Kingdom .

The video-on-demand service, which is aiming to launch by March with more than 3,000 hours of content, has struck deals with the independent production companies Talkback Thames and Shed Media, as well as for 50 made-for-TV movies with the US producer RHI Entertainment.

SeeSaw's deal with Shed Media, brokered by Shed's distribution arm Outright, includes the ITV dramas Footballers Wives and Bad Girls. The deal with Talkback Thames includes The Apprentice.

An agreement with distributor Digital Rights Group will see ITV1 dramas Doc Martin and Kingdom become available on the online TV service.

I just received a new invite code email so I can now login. Smile

Just had a quick look - video quality looks pretty impressive (perhaps even better than iPlayer)

Not too sure about that, just been trying to watch Hotel Babylon and video has been rather jerky and I'm not sure what codec their using but the artefacts can be a bit obvious. (I'm using the 'High' setting) It seems 4OD doesn't allow their shows to be on high quality on YouTube or SeeSaw.

SeeSaw chief executive looks forward to launch

SeeSaw, a new online TV aggregation service, is set to launch on Wednesday offering the most comprehensive selection of UK broadcasters’ content on a single website.

Owned by the transmission company Arqiva, the service has been trialled by 20,000 people during its beta phase, which began last month, and has content partnerships with BBC Worldwide, Channel 4, Five and several major UK independent production companies.

It will go live with more than 3,000 hours of content but is still missing a crucial deal with ITV because the TV company has been forced to put all such negotiations on hold during the 10-week strategic review its new chairman, Archie Norman, has just initiated.
