What you are referring to there is Subscription based TV. Nothing is free. The BBC charges us £120 a year just for having the technology to be able to recieve TV pictures, they call it a TV licence, it's like a dog licence except you don't have to take it for walks. As far as I know HBO is a Pay To View. As for the Danish, dunno, you know that bit. But then the question is..... would you pay to watch Rocketboom? Ads are the only way to go for these guys unfortunately if they want to do this thing full time. That's my two pence worth anyway..

There don't have to be ads on tv, no more than there have to be ads
anywhere else. Is the BBC running ads now? I know the Danish public
service provider is not and have never run ads on either of their two
channels. HBO is the US is not running ads either.
Someone has to pay for the programming, but it doesn't have to be financed
via ads.
