I'm sorry but I really don't understand what you are banging on about. You requested advice and, in good faith, we gave it - with reasons. What you do with that advice is your business. Some of us have simply said that we think that, at this stage in our very "asymmetrical negotiations" with the BBC, we may have more to lose than to gain by alerting the BBC to the RTMP streams. As for hypocrisy - where on earth does that come into it? The BBC is withholding information which would allow its paying audience to listen to its output - whilst telling everyone what a splendid job it's doing. Their withholding of information is detrimental to listeners. We are simply trying to get back the service we have paid for - well those of us in the UK anyway. Firstly, we don't know the validity of the "RTMP stream information" and secondly, any blagging on our part long lines of "Hey Auntie, we know something about RTMP which you don't" can merely result further degradation of our services. Some of us would regard that as counter-productive. Therefore, I'm not sure what good your somewhat "holier than thou" approach would achieve but, no doubt, you'll do as your conscience, or ego, dictates. You are not alone in feeling a little delicate about all this - many of us have wasted far too much of our time on it over the past six weeks. I'd much rather be doing something else but, perhaps like you, I believe this is a battle worth fighting, especially on behalf of those less technically able than ourselves. We have precious little leverage with the BBC so shouldn't squander what little we have - or get sidetracked with internal squabbles.
