The BBC has confirmed that it's investigating the use of peer-to-peer file sharing for the distribution of its programmes.
It follows director general Greg Dyke's announcement at the recent Edinburgh TV festival that the Corporation is planning to make its archive accessible via the Internet.
BBC new media director Ashley Highfield revealed the first details of the plans at the International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam over the weekend.
He said the BBC was developing a 'super EPG' that would work on any platform and let users record programmes as with a PVR.
