The beeb is worth every penny of the licencse fee. HD is tip of iceberg. Their website offerings are great and more and more of their content is downloadable for free which is a lot more than can be said for other broadcasters. Watching Planet Earth alone is worthy of the fee.

Sky will need to release some details before there is a rush…with this announcement and the footie less than three months away I would have thought April will be the month for info. NTL have dropped their mpg4 pvr plans so it looks like they’ll use the mpg2 tech that Telewest have rolled out. Sky and nasty Mr Murdoch may be my only option.
