SeeSaw TV - UK Internet TV Service Explored

We take a look at SeeSaw TV, a new Internet-based digital TV service that launched in February 2010 - What does the service offer, and why you may soon be watching SeeSaw TV

What is SeeSaw TV?

SeeSaw TV launched on the 17th of February 2010, offering thousands of hours of TV content over the Internet.

SeeSaw TV started life as "Project Kangaroo", which was intended to be something along the lines of a commercial version of BBC iPlayer, in that TV shows from BBC, ITV and Channel 4's back catalogue would be made available either for free, or on a pay-to-view model. Project Kangaroo was killed by the UK Competition Commission in 2009, and elements of the work for Kangaroo have gone to form SeeSaw TV.

SeeSaw TV is owned by Arqiva, the company responsible for the network of UK TV and Radio transmitters.
