BBC News 24 Multiscreen - Virgin Media TV and Phone

I still don't get this and i'm wondering if you could help...

Well on the News 24 Multiscreen you see headlines, business, weather etc (in small screens which is annoying) but what I don't get is why they have a BBC News stream. It seems like a waste of a stream to me as you can easily view BBC News 24 by pressing TV.

Also, if you look closely it shows 'BBC News' not 'BBC News 24' on the tower. Anyone know why that is?

Cheers,
Antz

I don't know about the multiscreen. But I think they show BBC News on the tower because they may put that style on when BBC news is on BBC One or Two.

Oh right I see. Still a pointless stream anyway!

With VOD now being rolled out could the multiscreen be adapted into be on demand?

You load the application and the screen chosen begin to play.

Of you could access the different videos via the main ondemand section - they could be really nice to use and make them full screen this way!

No it's updated too often (some of it is live) for that.
