The BBC has announced a revised version of its iPlayer TV catch-up service which will launch today for PlayStation 3. The update, which will be rolled out to over 300 other connected TV devices in the coming months, has been redesigned with the TV screen in mind, and offers a more personalised experience. Users can save favourite shows and view search history, with the service also making personalised recommendations. Daniel Danker, general manager of programmes and on demand, said: "With today's announcement, we're transforming iPlayer in its most natural home: right on the living room TV. By creating a product that's as simple and intuitive as flicking through TV channels, the BBC is bringing on-demand television to mainstream audiences across the UK."
