Hurrah. Channel 4 is now available on the internet, thanks to a simulcast available* from its website. At the moment it's only on a trial basis, but hopefully it'll become permanent soon. I watched Deal Or No Deal this afternoon and was well impressed by the picture quality. It's not HD or anything, but it's good enough for watching daytime game shows**. Even on full screen, as long as you don't get too close to the screen, it looks really good. Unless you're looking at Noel Edmonds, of course.
On the downside, due to broadcasting rights issues, certain shows can't be shown on the simulcast. Most notably (wouldn't you just know it) The Simpsons. An annoyance that can be summed up by only one word... altogether now... D'oh!
* To UK-based punters, although why anyone else should care is beyond me.
** Not that I make a habit of doing this.
