I think it's still a beta version, and they are still fiddling around with it to iron out the bugs. The other day I tried downloading a TV programme which had been broadcast a couple of days earlier, and instead it recorded a couple of other programmes which were on that night. Teething problems, as they say.

For people in the United Kingdom there's also something a bit similar for Channel Four - www.channel4.com/4od   Sonfar as I know there is nothing for any of the other channels. Still that's sruff from all the BBC Channels (1,2,3,4,CBBC, CBeebies, New 24 and Parliament), plus Channel 4, so that should be enough to go on with.

The great thing with On Demand stuff is that it takes off the pressure to watch the programmes when they are broadcast in case you might miss something you want. And then you don't have to watch them on demand either.
