The Communication Act 2003 strictly forbits the requirement of a payment to watch a live BBC TV channel. This is why the BBC one service on DAB radio is free-to-air, and why all BBC services are free on analogue and digital cable, and also on digital satellite too. _ From: [EMAIL

3G technical trial. 12 months long. it's public service, as Brian says. Nowt to do with BBC Worldwide. we don't have regulatory permission to broadcast BBC TV 24/7 live on the open net until iPlayer public value test has been approved by the BBC Trust (assuming they do indeed approve this).

Bleb.org/tv is something I use quite often (when I don't have my laptop with Digiguide to hand on it) but unfortunately they can't show ITV listings due to legal reasons at the mo - believe a solution is being sought at the moment. Still, VERY handy site. And who watches ITV anyway. ;)
