re: TV Catchup now availble on the iPhone

i am also a bit confused, i just did it from safari on my iphone and it started playing what is on bbc1 at the moment (Life, with david attenborough narrating), however i was suprised as it was literally only a couple of seconds out? is this like having a tv on my iphone or something?

plus how do i choose the programme i want to watch? (afterall it is 'catch up' tv).

cheers!

You only choose channel, as its virtually a live stream.
