BBC2 programmes no longer online

I was disapointed to find out that the many BBC2 shows that you could watch online has now ended.

It looks like we'll be waiting till May until it is decided and shows will only be kept online for 7 days. It was going to be 30 days but the content owners are worried they'll lose out on DVD sales so are trying to slow down the movement to online video.

It's been like that for weeks if not months now...

I think the 7 day thing applies to how much time you have to download it rather than watch it. So you can download something that was on last Sunday until next Sunday but you'll be able to watch it for 30 days after that.

Oink oink.
