4oD (Channel 4) to release everything for free

Post by faceless »

Channel 4's streaming service 4OD is changing at the end of June. From then they will be giving access to all their programs for free. Before you had to pay 99p for some episodes.

It will be available on linux systems too, which must mean they're getting rid of the DRM that was on their wmv files a linux can't deal with that. So with any luk the files will be clean and easy to use. I'm not sure if it will be available outside the uk, but I doubt it.

Still, good news all round as they've amde some brilliant stuff over the years.

there's an Itunes download link on each page that might be useful. I'm not sure if they charge though, or if the files are drm protected.
