Dear Member

In recent days, TVCatchup has become aware of the Broadcaster's (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Five) increasing concerns over the free personal recording functionality that this website offers.

On 15th February, our hosting was terminated without warning and we presume this was at the request of such Broadcasters.

Given that this will no doubt happen again, TVCatchup has therefore voluntarily suspended its services whilst the concerns of the Broadcasters are addressed.

We apologise to all for this temporary interuption to service.

This page will provide a service update as matters progress.

Its ok to stream but i think it won't allow recordings due to certain laws

Anyone know if it would be able to record using 3rd party software?

If its streaming then you could use Replay Media Catcher to rip it.
If you can't get a copy of that then there is a lot of freeware programs that might work.
Here is a link for a youtube ripper.

I also have a link for replay media catcher if anyone wants it then pm me.

I thought they had their own software to allow you to record, pause rewind etc etc, I use the site all the time when im either in the office or away overnight anywhere, just never got into the recording, but im pretty sure they run their own software you have to download, try looking in their forum section

It can be done... I was trying this at the weekend... You need to use a proxy server...The attached video is for the BBC iplayer but the idea is the same.
