Once again British ex pats are left out in the cold as the BBC offers a unique set of iPlayer options free of charge but only to those living in the UK. We refer to the recent relaunching of iPlayer onto the Nintendo Wii console system. While iPlayer through Wii had been made available as early as 2008, endless glitches and problems in the system made it virtually unusable.
This new edition should allow iPlayer programming to be easily viewed by anyone possessing a Wii console. But, as is the BBC iPlayer tradition, only those with consoles in the UK will be granted access to the programming. Broadband reviews of iPlayer by means of Wii have always been less than favorable and we truly have no reason to believe the relaunch will greatly differ. We also put doubt that if one should take the time to compare broadband providers in the UK there seems the likelihood that the existing options available for television programming when bundled with broadband seem far more desirable than wasting download time on access to iPlayer.
Further broadband comparison reveals that online catch-up services such as iPlayer use a tremendous amount of bandwidth and they simply may not be viable. A simple digital recorder that allows for localised saving of programming seems a wiser alternative. Many UK broadband providers include these digital recorders as a free incentive to sign up for their broadband and television packages.
