I recently downloaded 40D (Download it Here) and BBCI Player (Download it Here). They are really great little programs. 40D has most channel 4 shows old and new. BBCI player offer the option to download to your hard drive using the BBCI Player Download Manager. I would recommend you do this because viewing the content streamed loses allot of quality.
WARNING PLEASE READ!
What these programs don't tell you is that they will continue to upload off you without you knowing. What i mean by that is, the videos you downloaded off 40D will be shared to other people trying to download it. Not even if you close the program completely, it will still upload off you. Some Internet users have a limit to the amount of stuff they can download e.g. 2gb. This limit included the amount you can upload. If 40D is uploading off you and you cant stop it, it will cost you money if you go over your limit. Also if you play online games it will cause LAG because its using your Internet bandwidth. This also applies to Sky Anytime program.
OH MY GOD HOW DO I STOP IT!
Never fear ManicCow is here. There is a program called TV ON Demand Monitor and it works great. It blocks it from uploading when the program is not open. You may need to close the program when you open 40D and reopen it when you finished using 40D. For more information on the program click Here or Download it Here

What is the chance of SKY charging me extra for excessive downloading ? And are there any privacy issues with using these programs?
Depends on your Sky broadband Package, 2 are Unlimited but you might have the cheapest, which is limited. There is privacy issue(I would call it privacy)with these TV on demand services, this program is meant to fix that by blocking them from uploading off you when the program is not open.
So, if my child is in his room, downloading programmes on the cheapest SKY internet package i.e. £5 per month, I could find myself getting billed for these excesses?
Also, I dont want my Internet threatened by potential infiltration from outsiders uploading TV shows, from this TV on demand websites. There is a definite danger of Internet fraud being perpertrated within my own home, don't you think?
It is my understanding that the cheapest sky internet package is free. £5 a month is for 8mb and a 40gb limit it should be hard to reach that limit unless You donwload 1gb a day or more. Also internet fraud is prevented by using security on wireless router. Sky Internet genrally set security on the router when they install. The only way to prevent it in your home is not give out the passcode to your router!
