TV channel Five has become the first UK broadcaster to launch a legal video download store, where users can download TV programmes to their PCs for a pay-as-you-go fee, reports Netimperative.

And of interest to this column, "an SMS payment service is also provided, aimed to appeal to younger fast cars fans with no access to a credit card, which will also cost £1.50 per download."

Currently , there are four free Fifth Gear videos available for download from www.five.tv/fifthgear.
