[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 34046, member: 175057"] The BBC might have a million potential viewers outside the UK, by potential I mean those that either have a dish pointing at 28.2 or a dish capable of movement onto the same. Most of these will not watch it non-stop, possibly only for a few hours a week, so the view of all of these Johnny Foreigners leeching our "quality" programming, is perhaps a little misplaced. I can see their (The BBC's) reasoning, because if it works, it will save them millions of pounds and this can perhaps be spent on programming. I know that there a lot of very disgruntled ex-patriate Brits who can no longer receive the BBC channels since they moved satellite and became free to view, but I wonder whether the outside UK viewing numbers have increased or decreased, my money would be on the decrease, as most people prefer to watch channels in their first language.
