"The BBC's catch-up TV service can now be accessed ..."
I think they've decided that "catch-up service" is a cool-sounding way to say you can catch up with all the programmes you missed. But to me, it sounds like they're playing catch-up with YouTube and other online content providers.
Unfortunately, I fear their motivation is less to do with entertainment than it is to do with extending the UK's television tax to computer users.
