BBC iPlayer is a video streaming and downloading service that allows UK citizens to watch BBC shows online a mere 1 hour after it has shown on television for up to 7 days as well as having the ‘Series Stacking’ feature which allows viewers to watch previous programmes from selected series until the series has ended, with a limit of up to thirteen weeks after first broadcast. While the service came under heavy criticism, with the development costing well over £6million and with running costs estimated to be as high as £830 million, BBC iPlayer has become a highly requested feature among UK gamers.
