Hollyoaks being moved online?

I got this in response to another e-mail sent to BBC America.

We are pleased to announce that starting in September, Hollyoaks will
be
made available through streaming video on
BBCAmerica.com. You will now
be able to follow along online as the drama unfolds at Hollyoaks
Community
College. The episodes will premiere online daily starting with
a two-episode launch on Tuesday, September 4.  Each episode will be
available for viewing free of charge for seven days. We are thrilled to
hear that you are a devoted fan of Hollyoaks. Please rest assured that
we
take your suggestions and comments very seriously.

We thank you again for your comments.

It's better than not showing it at all, I guess... :(

Confused...

The schedule is confusing since they start repeating the season come September in the 3:00am timeslot on TV. And at what point is the storyline being picked up online - from the begining or from the point it leaves our tv sets?

Still, i'm glad it's not being cancelled. Although I would prefer to watch HollyOaks on TV, I have no problem watching it online.  I just  wish BBCAmerica would get their act together.

MAYBE this is BBCA's way to figure out exactly how many people are watching Hollyoaks before getting rid of it or getting behind it? I mean they MUST have a way to see EXACTLY how many people watch it on thier website won't they?

I also wonder...will the online eps. just be the re-started eps. that are running on TV? Will they pick up online where they stop with new eps. on tv? WHY not just run the new ones on air and the old ones online if somebody wants to see them...

 BBCA...they speak english but they might as well be speaking another language...I never seem to know what exactly is going on with them! :)

I do agree that seeing it online is better than nothing...I know that current eps. stream from the UK Channel 4 site but since we're not in the UK the media player won't play for us (How btw does that site know we're not in the UK and why won't it work for anyone not in the UK...this is like the year 2007?)

The online episodes will be the new ones. Episode 65 is the last TV episode before they go back to Episode 1. Episode 66 and up will be online.
