What is great is that..... One 3.5m satellite dish with a four way LNB, connected to four Sky boxes with four Sling Media Sling boxes attached to four Macs, because that is what I like, each with a couple of "realtime" Automator actions, stream the whole lot to Democracy from behind Psiphon. Perhaps £10K for the lot. I believe that it will happen by the end of February, BBC1-4 live'ish on the net. Before I get raided, I will not be doing this, but any guesses on how long until someone does?.... it really is that easy. Perhaps the one feed that you are all missing is the realtime TV feed that is available to us all. I would call it "BC plus" - plus the hour it takes to digitise,verify and stream. Add more dishes and more torrents, and you end up with the same legal situation as the music industry has..... for good or bad. For £166 million the BBC, as the "original BBC" could do it, might upset the Aussies though.... but hey, they have the Ashes back :-) Better still, everyone who is interested in the UK could be asked to contribute (BBC Associate program) and the BBC could sell the idea to the Rights holders by splitting any revenue with them based on the number of times a show is viewed at the end of the year..... similar to the commercial radio model. The BBC could then use a "click" count similar to Google ads..... but only if they manage a system whereby they are in some control of the first release..... and scan any sites that use the content for numbers of hits. Financially, if done legally, which I believe the majority would, I can see everyone making more money than they do now...... I believe the Music model has shown that the quality is important, so more DVD's could be sold, and the BBC would have more information about what to re-run on TV based on the figures from the net. I don't believe I am a geek with computers..... so please don't be upset at the above idea, it is for research and information only.. and it would work:-) Regards Rich E On 20 Dec 2006, at 20:44, Nic James Ferrier wrote: > "Ian Forrester" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > >> Nic what kind of stuff are talking about doing?
