[QUOTE="custard, post: 35567, member: 177802"] Guys, get over this Free To View stuff. The BBC (God bless it!) is the only org. strong enough to take on the Borg that is SKY. Soon, ITV, C4 (eventually, little C5) will see the light. I live in ROI (NI originally) and pay for BBC via Irish Sky, also having to pay Irish TV licence for RTE rubbish (with adverts!). I also have a UK box for real tv (RTE is so very poor). I am delighted that I am at least paying some money indirectly to the BBC. If there was any justice in the EU we would be free to buy whatever TV we wished. Instead, in ROI, we cannot get ITV, C4 or C5 (although I am lucky enough to get these by paying for UK subscription). The BBC was the first institution to breath freedom into the Eastern block via radio- why should TV be any different in the 21st Century? My point is that, given the choice, I would pay for traditional UK TV without the nonsense of 3-400 muppet channels that accompany the 8 or 10 I watch. As another contributor wrote, the Arabic and Indian etc. channels are viewable for an additional fee, so why not UK channels throughout Europe without the profit-making suppliers of UK Sky cards we see on the 'net? This nonsense excuse of copyright is indefensible in a pay per channel environment. the programme-makers get their cut! -BBC forever! [/QUOTE]
