From early 2010, viewers will have access to episodes of Five shows as Neighbours, Home & Away and The Hotel Inspector.

Viewers will be able to access the programmes by plugging their Sony Bravia TV sets into their existing broadband connection.

The Bravia Internet Video platform will also offer free on-demand video clips from websites such as YouTube and Wired.

In the US, where the VoD service is already available, users can access content from the likes of Sony Pictures.

Five's agreement with Sony is the broadcaster's latest move to make its content available on multiple platforms. Last month, Five became the latest partner in Project Canvas, the joint venture between the BBC, ITV and BT, to deliver VoD via Freeview.
