[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1205652, member: 141969"] I think that "younger folk" probably overestimate the popularity of watching TV via streaming from the internet. I read recently on the "Digital Spy" web site that in the UK only about 3-4% of BBC programmes are watched by streaming via the BBC iPlayer, the other 96-97% being watched via DVB-T/T2 or DVB-S/S2. This is in contrast to the 10-12% of the BBC licence fee that is consumed by providing these internet streaming services. My broadband has a 12 GByte per month limit. A 2-hour HD movie is about 4 GByte, so that would be 3 HD movies that I could watch [b]per month[/b]. I have no inclination to pay more for my broadband. As Mark Twain said when commenting on broadcast TV: [i]Reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated.[/i] -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
