Free UK TV
Hi just seen this link in another forum, I downloaded it and works a treat.
Never seen some many channels!!! 7pm (uk time) is Dr Who, I am sure it will be the new one, fed up of watching all the repeats on sky.

Please do, the thought of such a valuable freebee is tempting and, in common with Oscar Wilde,I can resist anything except temptation.

Re: Free UK TV
The catch is that you don't get anything for free. There will be a subscription or fee for downloading. Plus they will put a block on access outside of the UK for certain programs. But it's good while it lasts!

We've got a Mac, so our catch is that it doesn't work

Re: Free UK TV
there was no obvious fee when i tried it, how will they collect the fee do you think?

Re: Free UK TV
At the moment it's a beta version so that's probably why no fee. The fees will be for downloadable HD movies or for streaming HD movies. I'm sure it would be similar to iTunes in that you pay for what you watch whilst at the same time there will be a lot of free TV. Again, I cannot think they will allow certain programs to be viewed outside of the UK.

Further to my earlier post. Here is something interesting -
http://ec.europa.eu/avpolicy/reg/avms/index_en.htm
An EU directive for television without frontiers. Could mean from 2010 we could all have normal access (as opposed to access via a proxy server) to the BBC iPlayer, 4oD type media players from anywhere in Europe...

Thanks Debra it works down here in Salento. Also thanks to Duffer for the information. Great to see some live TV, beats all those repeats on BBC Prime.
