Cable Forum - View Single Post - VOD Content - One week shows are available, the next they're not...

I'm curious about the content on the VOD service. I believe the selection of shows and the time they are made available is decided by the BBC, however it currently appears to be quite unreliable.

For instance, this Saturday I decided not to set the recorder for Bodies on BBC2 as every episode of the current series has been available on VOD later the same night. However when I went to watch it Sunday it was not listed, and it still isn't.

I hope this is a situation that isn't going to happen to various shows on a regular basis. It really defeats the point of using VOD if we still have to record a show to make sure we actually get to see it.
