    &lt;a href="/blog/614-channel-4-launches-online-vod-service"&gt;4OD&lt;/a&gt; offers a range of&#160;Channel&#160;4's&#160;programming for download up to 30 days after broadcast, and charges 99p for TV shows and &#163;1.99 for films. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Rival broadcasters ITV and the BBC also have&#160;on-demand broadband TV services planned.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The BBC Trust is expected to approve the corporation's plans to introduce its new iPlayer today - a piece of software&#160;that will stream the BBC's programmes to internet users or allow them to be downloaded. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, ITV&#160;is set to&#160;relaunch its website &lt;a href="http://www.itv.com/"&gt;itv.com&lt;/a&gt;&#160;tomorrow and&#160;start offering&#160;its own on-demand service. &lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;strong&gt;Channel 4's TV on-demand service 4OD has attracted over 1m viewers&#160;since its launch in December, in a&#160;boost to the hopes of broadband TV providers.&lt;/strong&gt;
  &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Speaking to the &lt;a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/11766ad2-f6b7-11db-9812-000b5df10621.html"&gt;FT&lt;/a&gt;, 4's video on demand head Sarah Rose said 20m programmes had been viewed through&#160;the service, but&#160;wouldn't reveal how&#160;much usage was taking place&#160;over the net, rather than through Virgin Media or BT Vision set top boxes. &lt;/p&gt;
