Hi All,

Anyone else had this invitation? I know a few of us were on iMP.

If only they offered Sky1 then I could watch 24 again!

Some months ago, you took part in the "iMP trial", to help us
test
out a potential new service where BBC TV programmes could be made
available to download to a PC.

Since then, we have been developing this potential new service
further, and we would now like to invite you to help us with testing
its new design - at a fairly early stage - while work progresses.

At the moment, the amount of hours of TV available are more limited
than for the iMP trial, and some functionality is still awaiting
release, but if you join this trial then over time you will be able
to help us test out new versions as we expand the service.

Your participation will help us to test the technical resilience of
the digital infrastructure that supports all the BBC's on-demand
services, including BBC iPlayer, pending approval by the BBC Trust.

The BBC TV Test is currently only open to BBC staff but, as someone
who has helped us test our services before, we would welcome your
participation in the test.

It offers a range of TV programmes for download to a PC. The number
of programmes available for download will increase over the course of
the test as will the functionality available.

To take part in the BBC TV Test you must have access to a PC with
broadband at home. It must be a PC as the technology is not currently
compatible with an Apple Macintosh.

If you are a customer of Sky's broadband service you should not join
the TV Test at this stage as the two are not yet compatible. The same
restriction does not apply to 4oD.

Please bear in mind this is a technical test with limited
functionality. There may be times when it is necessary for the system
to be temporarily suspended.

Many thanks,
BBC TV Test
