BoB upgrade

July 24, 2013Audio, Video Standard

Further to my earlier post on BoB this morning: BoB is being relaunched in October with some significant improvements.

These include:

  • access to more than 800,000 new BBC TV and radio programmes, dating from 2007, from the BBC archive
  • an additional 13 foreign language channels
  • an extended recording buffer – giving you more channels, available for longer
  • a new website look, including colour, theme, functionality and improved navigation.
  • the ability to search across future and recorded programmes simultaneously
  • interactive transcripts and dynamic subtitle searches
  • Apple iOS compatibility
  • the ability to easily create clips and clip compilations, and share programmes and playlists via social media
  • the option to make YouTube-style comments on progammes
  • a quick link to the new BUFVC AV Citation Guidelines, allowing you the opportunity to reference programmes within your work easily.
