So how much extra are we paying for movies and American TV content via Sky and Virgin Media than the Americans pay for the same items via their equivalent feeds?

I cant believe the anti-TV licence views on this thread. We aren't paying over the odds for a TV licence. It is excellent value for money. Look at everything we get for £131.50. 8 TV channels + BBCi channels, 10 radio channels + 45 local and regional radio stations, bbc.co.uk which brings us news and sport reports which are second to none, online TV shows, entertainment reports, educational sites, public information sites, reviews, interviews and much much more. We also get outstanding TV shows such as Life on Mars, Walking With Dinosaurs, Little Britain, Dr Who, and imports like Band of Brothers, and Heroes coming soon. All of that advert free. You cant argue with it. How much would all that cost if you were to get it from Sky? It would be a damn site more that £11/month.
