 12 online video tips


The web is crammed with superb video content, but are you making the most of what's on offer? Here, we reveal 12 expert tips for enhancing your entertainment


BBC iPlayer - choose when you watch
The BBC iPlayer Download Manager lets you download all your favourite BBC TV programmes for free, to watch whenever you want to for up to 30 days. The program is based on the Kontiki Platform, which is also behind the Sky Anytime on-demand service and Channel 4's 4OD.

BBC iPlayer - streaming version
The streaming version of BBC iPlayer lets you view Flash video versions of programmes online. You can only watch programmes up to seven days from transmission but you don't need any special software installed as long as you have Adobe Flash Player installed in your browser.

Kontiki - save your bandwidth
Kontiki is peer-to-peer software, which uses your bandwidth to distribute programmes that you've already downloaded or are in the process of downloading. This has implications if your ISP places data limits on your broadband connection. Avoid running the applications when you're not downloading or watching video with them by right-clicking their icons in your System Tray and choosing Exit.

ITV Catch up
ITV Catch Up lets you watch catch-up programmes from the last 30 days, as well as classic shows from the broadcaster's archive. If you use Internet Explorer, you'll need Windows Media Player 9 or higher and Flash to view the content. Firefox users will also need to have Microsoft Silverlight installed.
