Microsoft is hoping that its pilot service, with content from BBC Worldwide and All3Media, may establish it as the online TV aggregator of choice for commercial broadcasters.

Microsoft is also hoping to get first mover advantage over any potential UK launch of the hugely successful Hulu, the US online TV service backed by NBC Universal, News Corporation and Disney.
