    Oo ebsay, thank you. I just moved into a house and my TV in my room doesn't work so this will help for now :)
    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    It is very good but watch your data usage - it seems to be streaming at about 750kbps which will eat over 300MB an hour so it's most useful usage on 3G (which is how I tried it) is pretty much ruled out.

    I assume this is all above board and legal?

    The Site Is Perfectly Legal Under Current UK broadcasting laws, one of the reasons they withdrew the service last year, was due to the service being used outside of the UK.

    They now use a variety of location-based filtering to prevent users from using the site outside of the UK (I've been a beta user for many months).

    They also USED to allow you to record, this was also against the rebroadcasting rights under which they operate, so recording is no longer available. A desktop application is under development which will allow recording to the end users hard disk rather than to TVC's remote servers (as previously).

    Great service, fantastic bunch of guys running it, and for Flash video, the quality is amazing for the bandwidth it consumes.
