Beebify

I'd like to offer you a different approach to Beebhack in downloading  
BBC shows: Beebify.com

Beebify is the simplest of all sites, loads instantly, nearly 1,700  
current BBC shows at a glance, and features one-click downloads.   
Currently in 'Stealth Mode' but fully operational (PC/laptop, not yet  
mobile/tablet), Beebify.com is scheduled to launch on 1 April 2013.

Pair Beebify with Hola.org's (still in beta) free unBlocker for  
Windows, the promising new peer2peer network facilitating BBC access,  
and this is a very simple solution to downloading and watching BBC  
shows from anywhere in the world.

The server side of Beebify's architecture was designed on the pemise  
that it must access the BBC servers in the same manner as any other  
user, giving the BBC the option of blocking every one of its users  
including Beebify - or blocking no one.

The website (client) side of Beebify respects the shortcomings of  
BBC's DRM system by allowing the easily downloaded files to be played  
in Windows Media Player from anywhere in the world - by utilising  
Hola.org's unBlocker, another proxy or a VPN solution.  Important in  
the design was making Beebify simple enough for a computer novice to  
use.

Watching TV used to be a shared social experience, and our hope is  
that Beebify with its simple downloading will encourage viewers to  
form groups where files downloaded by one person are then shared  
locally - thus considerably reducing bandwidth for the BBC servers and  
for viewers' own Internet pathway.

This a admittedly a departure from the Beebhack approach - and we  
welcome you to check it out at www.beebify.com
