This is completely different to burning it to DVD in that you can only watch it while its being broadcast.

The name of the site is misleading as you can no longer catchup with TV only watch it live.

It sounds like a sensible option, but it wont work, the reason the broadcasters do not show all broadcasts live via the websites is because

1. They didn't pay the extra for the rights to broadcast it on the internet

2. Have old contracts that were agreed before the internet streaming option was available

or 3. The rights holder is stuck in the dark ages and do not offer the rights for internet broadcast.

So if they got together and bought TVCatchup then it would become just as useless as the current individual sites.

Also TVCatchup offers an alternative when the original channels website is down or otherwise not working due to high demand or incompetence.
