BBC One and BBC Two will be available to watch live on the internet from 27 November at the same time they are broadcast on terrestrial television.

Viewers will be able to view the 'simulcasts' by accessing the homepages for each channel on bbc.co.uk.

The service will also be available on the Beeb's on-demand online TV service iPlayer, alongside BBC content broadcast over the previous seven days.

Other BBC channels, including BBC Three, BBC Four and BBC News, have been available in simulcast form for some time, along with various BBC Radio stations.

The BBC cited research by Ofcom which suggests the number of UK consumers watching TV over the internet has doubled over the past year.
