TV, radio and films

The University has a subscription to Box of Broadcasts (BoB), an off-air TV and radio recording service for UK HE institutions, which allows you search and record any broadcast programme from 60+ TV and radio channels. The recorded programmes are then kept indefinitely (no expiry) and added to a growing media archive (currently at over 1 million programmes). You can then embed or link to programmes/clips in Vision or can use for personal study/research.
