The BBC has announced it is to stop downloads from pcs and macs from iplayer.
This has upset many people, particularly people in areas with poorer internet and train/plane travellers.
I use it a lot as I use subtitles, and subtitles sync better with audio in the downloaded versions (same on Amazon Prime). When viewing online, the subtitles are often a couple of seconds out of sync.
This is a shockingly bad decision from the BBC who are a public service.
Whichever self important pompous idiots who made this decision should be sacked immediately.
The "overgruppenfuhrers" try and justify it saying you can download on a mobile phone but that is hopeless for things that need a decent sized screen e.g. sports, wildlife etc.
The BBC was once the jewel in the crown. What a joke they are becoming. We all know why the BBC is in serious decline - the dreaded W word!
IMO, it is time the BBC was sold, saving us megabucks in the licence fee.
As an aside, I do not know if this will affect get_iplayer.
