Re: [ubuntu-uk] watch tv on ubuntu!

The whole TV Licence thing is quite bizarre, imho, but it's amazing how when it gets debated so many people stand up for it -- "the BBC is such a great institution it's a small price to pay" etc. etc. Most of us pay it, but the premise that because you have TV capable of receiving BBC broadcasts

Re: [ubuntu-uk] watch tv on ubuntu!

I have my doubts regarding this Zattoo program in the UK. As I read it, once anyone receives a television program in real-time in the UK, they are liable for TV Licensing. Zattoo seems like such a program, albeit having a different transmission media (p2p over the net instead of RF transmission).
