Review: I have being using 4oD since its beta days and all I can say is that it rocks. Six months ago it was a bit on the clunky side with plenty of down time on the site but they have really got it streamlined now.

The streaming is great as long as you have a decent 3Mb down line and if not I would go for the download option.

The newest upgrade of the 4oD software now allows you to play these without being connected to the internet which is all to do with Digital rights so you can load the software onto your laptop download your favorite programs and go on holidays.

This is what I intend to do at the end of November as there is no English TV in the Ukraine.

You also get 30 Day catch up free with this version.

I do think that that the free stuff is rather confusing to navigate however I actually have found myself watching documentaries and the IT Crowd, Fonejacker on an almost daily basis.

In actual fact I found it so good as I work strange hours that I ditched my cable three months ago and installed an indoor aerial.

Between this and terrestrial channels I'm more then happy.
Pros: Nearly everything
Cons: They are starting to put more ads on before you watch your program.
Score: 9/10
