Do you have to take three video players into the shower? BBC Worldwide plans to end the system whereby you need one player for BBC, one for Channel 4 and so on and has announced a partnership that should see its new iPlayer, codenamed Kangaroo, become a one-stop shop for online television.
ITV, Channel 4 and the BBC have committed to create an on-demand video service that will bring "a single destination for over ten thousand hours of quality entertainment content". The plan is to launch the service in 2008 as a web-only system and later introduce downloads and rentals.
The new service has to be approved by the BBC Trust and the boards of Channel 4 and ITV.
