BoB/ Box of Broadcasts

 Box of Broadcasts, or BoB for short, is a new resource that we have recently purchased for recording and keeping Freeview TV and Radio for educational use. You can record from over 60 TV and Radio channels, set recordings one week in advance and record or view programmes from the previous 30 days. The BBC TV and Radio archive is now part of BoB, with programmes going back to 2007. Any recorded programmes are kept indefinitely and added to a growing media archive of over 1 million programmes with all content shared by users across all subscribing institutions. Everyone can keep their own clips and programmes in an area called ‘myBoB’.There is a limit of 5 requests per 24 hour period for each person and if you make a clip, it counts as a request.  You can watch or keep as many programmes as you want in your 'myBoB' area if they have been previously recorded or requested. You cannot watch programmes outside of the UK.
