MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

I can't help thnking about it from the BBC's perspective...

"Please, oh, please, bring the iPlayer to more platforms!"
"Okay!"
"Har, har! Hacked it! Suckers!"

hopefully they wont use it as an excuse to stop it / or mac support

Who cares.
The BBC is lame.

Until the UK/England/Britain/whatever stops taxing people for every T.V. <not tele> they own the BBC will always suck. Time for the old country to have their own revolution.

BBC actually has some good non-news programming, but the news I stopped watching years ago. Its just too pathetic.

Stop fscking screwing this. I love the BBC on my iPhone, it's free, it's cool, go and attack ITV or channel 4 or SKY they are all shagging microstiff. Not available on Mac. Sad bastards.

Give me SKY over the Beeb any day. The Beeb sucks.

Have you ever watched a TV program without ad breaks, what, without breaks, no, you don't mean, a story without ads, no, you can't mean, no don't tease me, it can't be possible, a story from beginning to end without an advert. The tax of 2 bucks a week brings life in cold blood, doctor who, east enders, newsnight, the passion, eggheads and horizon to name but a few. Advertfarkingtizing free.

I'd pay $2 per week to make ads go away. I think the Brits have a great idea!

I enjoyed state sponsored propaganda once.

Once.

"Have you ever watched a TV program without ad breaks,"

But how can we see the shows here in the States?

Mar 17, 08 - 02:03 am Comment from: nekogami13

All TV shows I watch are ad free-it's called eyetv software and editing.

As for the BBc shows I want here in the States-it's called bit torrent. Apparently many nice Brits record the shows and put them up so people who don't want to wait 2 years to see the latest doctor who, IT crowd, wire in the blood, hyperspace, etc. can watch them.

Thanks Brits!

BBC sucks, by trying to be 'impartial', they just look a bit stupid, especially this article:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7295859.stm

I mean, talk about plugging something that doesn't exist! Surface? I have yet to actually see one, see a review of a table. iPod touch and iPhone are in millions of people's hands, but the BBC, thanks to their 'partnership' with Micro$oft, deem it suitable to talk to 'Kristin Alexander, head of research and planning for Microsoft Surface', about a product that has yet to see the light of day.

Details of M$-BBC partnership:

Sad, really sad.

mmmmm top gear on my iPod.....

$2 a week, I don't think so.

I think a TV license is about £139 now so thats $280 a year. That would be $5.40ish a week. Doesn't sound like a lot but even if you NEVER watch BBC1,2,3,4 or any other BBC stations you still have to pay it! Its cheaper to have a black and white license though so if I turn the colour down on my 37" plasma maybe I'll fool them!

"It is difficult to produce a television documentary that is both
incisive and probing when every twelve minutes one is interrupted by
twelve dancing rabbits singing about toilet paper."

MW 'free' - as in, no such thing. Skinflints get the crap they deserve.

Shen. So because you watch BBC TV you're convinced Global Warming is real ? Maybe American TV news isn't so bad then...
