Submission + - BBC iPlayer, who would pay for access? 1
Finallyjoined!!! writes: As someone who lives in the UK, and who pays the TV licence fee, I now take the iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ for granted. It has completely freed me from the schedules and remembering to record. I can watch/listen to pretty much anything broadcast on TV/Radio by the BBC over the previous 7 days.
Because of repeats over the eight TV channels, some programmes, such as Top Gear, Merlin, Spooks, Panorama, Horizon, Doctor Who etc., have pretty much every episode of the current/last/various series available to watch. How cool is that?
Now the question: Having sampled the execrable TV in the US & Oz, who out there, outside the UK, would spend £139 (forty pence a day) for a full years worth of BBC iPlayer? I know web hosting & a proxy is cheaper, but that's not the question.
