BoB allows you to select and make recording of any programmes broadcast on more than 60 TV and radio channels: current list of available channels. Once a programme has been recorded, it is stored indefinitely and therefore becomes part of a growing media archive.

• Add comments to programmes and clips.

Transcripts of subtitled programmes are fully searchable and linked to the video timeline. This facility makes it very easy for users to identify and navigate to the specific sections of a programme that are of interest to them.
