SeeSaw VOD beta trial invites - more invites!

has anyone been sent anything from Seesaw?

as I posted earlier in Media Websites

The online TV service SeeSaw is aiming to launch in March, with content from partners including BBC Worldwide, Channel 4 and Channel Five.

The service, built from the assets of ITV, Channel 4 and BBC Worldwide's defunct Project Kangaroo video-on-demand venture, will start a closed, invite-only trial tomorrow.

SeeSaw is hoping to build up the number of users for its trial over the course of about a month to 10,000, with the aim of offering about 3,500 hours of TV content at launch by March.

It is understood that the service will offer a combination of free advertising-supported content and paid-for programming, the latter mostly from the US.

Got mine today !

Got mine a few days ago. Generally quite good as a Beta, though annoyingly some of the Olympics stuff is either mixed aspect ratio or all the wrong aspect ratio. I logged it as an issue and have been told it's fine, when clearly it isn't (lots of tall thin people - and the Olympic rings aren't circular...)

I wonder if they have any view on technical standards - or just pump out what people provide - with no QA or technical review (unlike a broadcaster)

I've not received mine yet, are they being done in batches?

Got mine the other day - can't use it yet though as the hotels ISP is in Germany and it's blocked content!

The same here, I am 'abroad' and I am unable to take part,

Is this a case for the European Court Of Human Rights?

("Rights" being the operative word!).

Mine's because the hotel uses iBahn (who are based in Germany/The Netherlands apparently)

Still waiting to get the access code.



Very Disappointed.

With a name like 'iBahn' they couldn't be based anywhere else!

T-Mobile hotspots make you appear to be in Germany too (again not a surprise)

I'm glad I'm not the only one still waiting for an access code. I keep checking my 'junk folder' every day to see if it's gone in there again by accident, even though I marked the last one as safe.

The Virgin Trains/T-Mobile Hotspots seem to think you're in Gibraltar! The iBahn here is also a BT Openzone (which I assume is UK-based) but still won't bloody work! The BBC iPlayer WILL work, ITV Net Player won't and the BBC homepage is the 'International' version!
