  • Can You Download Channel 4 TV Programmes To Your PC To Watch Later? - I'm not sure about Downloading but I have a shortcut on my desktop to click on to 4OD (=Channel 4 On Demand) and you can then select and watch previous programmes - I think in a similar way to BBC iPlayer.

    I think the OP is looking for a utility similar to get_iplayer which works with 4OD. I'd be interested too, but I'm not aware of anything.

    I'm with Plusnet broadband and between 12AM till 8AM i have free download time..........without using my limit.

    Streaming TV programmes eats up my 10GB, so i prefer to download things and watch later.

    Yes the shows that are downloaded need to be watched within 7 days.

    Cheers for that.

    I see they have a free trial.

    I only wanted to catch up on the episodes of Four In A Room - without streaming them on 4od and thus using up my GB limit.

    This might work for my needs with the free trial.
