BBC iPlayer To Offer Offline Viewing
The Guardian, Tuesday, September 4, 2012 1:53 PM
BBC's iPlayer app should soon let paying subscribers download programs for viewing offline at no additional cost. The update is expected to be released today for iPhone and iPad, and for Android devices "in the near future," according to a report in The Guardian. “The development marks a significant shift for BBC iPlayer, which has previously only allowed viewers to stream programmes to tablets and mobile devices with broadband connections or download them to watch on a desktop computer.”
