  2. Okay 4OD let me be constructive. You need to split "about the shows" and "watch the show" into 2 very easily navigatable paths. I would much rather search under a "WATCH 4od" for it to simply say "there are no episodes of the big bang theory available right now, do you want to view the synopsis of all the great episodes?" and offer that link if you want to, but ultimately saving me the bitter disappointment i've now come to anticipate after 5 minutes of drudging through various links. I bet iplayer are loving this. I'm all about the CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Bring on the forum chaps. Send me an invite. You bring the clipboards, I'll bring the jammy dodgers.

  4. Why would we need to know about all these episodes if we can't watch them? We could look at an episode guide for that. How come tho, we used to be able to watch nearly a whole series or the latest 5 or 6 episodes or something but now it has problems with copyright laws? It's a shame and is quite taunting really. Look at all these great shows you missed on Tv and guess where else you can't watch them... that's right! here! Anyways on a completely different series, why isn't Nearly Famous released on DvD? It was a great show and I'm sure would have made a lot of money from a DvD release. Can anyone answer that because I'm stumped and a litle annoyed you can only watch it here. And no I will not be downloading my favourite channel 4 shows on Itunes because their damn expensive downloads. That's what you buy DvD's for. People like things they actually own.

  7. really disappointed with the new 4OD thingy. i assumed the move onto the internet would keep most things the same but its now incredibly confusing and doesnt provide half the programs i wanted to watch any more.

  9. Unfortunately, Channel 4's licence to show The Big Bang Theory on 4oD does not include the current rerun of Series 2. While Channel 4 makes every effort to make 4oD as inclusive as possible, it is not always possible to acquire the rights needed to host shows on the 4oD platform. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

  15. What was supposed to be wrong with the old system? With it I could find any program in C4 history in moments, this new one has no advantages and a bunch of problems.

  17. Notice that none of the US stuff is available on 4OD for - most likely - licensing reasons.

  18. I totally agree with what everyone's been saying. The 4oD application was easy to navigate, and viewing programmes was simple and straightforward. I've been wandering around this site for ages trying to find the episodes. If they're not in reachable via 4oD > Search videos, where the heck are they??

  21. Yeah, how exactly are you supposed to watch any of the series? I cant find links for anything. Ive been watching it on megavideo, but this episode isn't on there! Dying to see it and stupid 4od just doesnt actually have any episodes at all apparently.

  22. I totally agree with you michelle, at least on the old 4od site you could actually watch recent stuff, now all it does is tell when the next episode is on. Channel 4, Please please please go back to the old 4od system!

  23. Is it just me or is the new system, since 4od website was ditched, really really rubbish. The links are all tiny, it's unclear where anything is and it seems impossible to watch any programmes. There used to be what, 10 episodes to stream, now I can't get one. What a crock! Another great system scuppered.
