Idea #17: I want to be alerted when a program I watch becomes available on iPlayer

Written by will_j the 20 Feb 09 at 08:15. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
iPlayer would be more useful to me if I could get alerts that programs I was interested in were available, chances are I would miss the window for watching them less.

It would also be really good if I could be alerted before my program was about to start on terrestrial TV.

Solution #1: Use twitter to remind people that programs they are interested in are available.

My ideal solution:

Somewhere I can sign up to receive alerts that programs are available on iPlayer, so for instance for say Red dwarf I would be able to ask to be alerted when any Red Dwarf programs were on, optionally any related shows, and choose whether or not I was interested in being alerted to repeats.

I would also be able to ask to receive alerts that a program I was interested in was starting on 'normal' TV with the same options (repeats, related etc.) but with an additional option of being alerted a chosen time before the show starts.

Primarily the alert method I was thinking of was twitter (I would add a BBCReminder nick as a friend who would then dm me) but other alert methods would be useful, including email.
