British TV is good.Very good.I love channel 4...

I agree its got some good stuff, channel 4 and BBC 2 being the highlights but there likewise is a lot of drivel too! (aka ITV - oh the humanity!) I am a bit sick of Brits going on about the superiority of British TV, its just not true, there are some very high qual US programmes.

The licence fee pays for 10 national radio stations, numerous local stations, 7 digital TV channels and the production and purchashing of programmes for them all. The licence fee is a winner for what is achieved at just a few pence a day for each household.
The only thing that confuses me about this service/statement is the existing FreeSat service from Murdoch's commerical broadcaster Sky. It alrerady has a buy a box and nothing more service (http://www.freesatfromsky.com/). Granted the Sky service is usually pretty poor with little domestic or European made material, most bought from Murdoch's Fox service in America, but BBC digital channels are already available obtainable from the box/dish.
The second confusing point is the the BBC is not allowed to provide a distribution service similar to Sky's as that's outside of its Public Service remit so where is it going to get the extra channels from that this story suggests?
