is there a easy way to download theses video files they are not on the uktvplay site and u.co.uk site anymore you can use the wayback machine site to get the old video files. it is just finding a way to download the video files is the problem and also you need a account with the sites to watch the tv shows. i am surprized that no software will download the video files cos i tried j downloader software that adds a lot of video files from a lot of sites but it will not download the video files from thoses 2 sites and i dont know of anyway to do it.
