The SeeSaw Television Revolution
A new on-demand video website pooling content from rival broadcasters has launched in a move that could revolutionise how people watch television.
More than 3,000 hours of BBC, Channel 4 and Five programmes can now be accessed from a single website.
SeeSaw puts programmes including Doctor Who, Hustle, Shameless and Neighbours side-by-side under one brand for the first time.
U.S. shows are due to be added to the library later this year, when the site is set to start charging for some of its content.
Downloading programs is currently free, although there are adverts at the start and possibly also in the middle of the shows.
