SeeSaw

SeeSaw provides on demand content from BBC, 4oD and Five. There already appears to be a good selection to choose from and presumably more content will appear over time.

We liked SeeSaw, it has a very simple interface and the picture quality is good. The major drawback is that it only runs on the PC. An application like TVersity would be needed to stream it to a media player; unfortunately none exist at present. However SeeSaw has only been available since last month and is still in beta release. It is likely that it will become better supported.

SeeSaw is now run by Arqiva. Originally it was called Project Kangaroo and was jointly owned by the BBC, 4 and Five. The Competition Commision did not like that setup and forced a sale (rightly so in our view).

Overall this looks to be a promising service. SeeSaw can be found here.
