If BT can, why can’t you or anyone else?

It turns out it isn't the iPlayer but the "higher quality" DVB-T recording that BT offer as part of their package. Although as they have no claim to copyright over them, it a bit hard to understand how they can charge extra for them, for example I couldn't record BBC one off-air, make a +1 of it and then transmit it via satellite and charge a fee for it. Could I? Or could I? 2008/6/9 Darren Stephens < [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >: I would suspect so, as they would likely claim that it is like any number of satellite channels bundled on sky, provided at zero cost, but only available as part of a package which includes other chargeable services.
