Terribly named online on-demand TV service SeeSaw, which will include programmes from the BBC, Channel 4 and Five, is set to launch in March.

With parallels to the BBC's iPlayer, SeeSaw was originally a joint venture between the broadcasters that will contribute content to it, but said JV was deemed anti-competitive by the UK Competition Commission. The technology and concept was subsequently bought last summer by telecoms and broadcasting services company Arqiva.

An invite-only beta trial of the service went live earlier this week. Once properly launched SeeSaw users will be able to access some content for free, it being ad-funded, while other content, including a lot of US TV shows, will only be available to paying subscribers.
