Ok I seem to be in a small minority here but as a compromise howabout :-

1. We keep OFCOM with all its teeth regulating the big broadcasting companies and making sure Sky don't take over the world and the BBC keeps on producing the best Website ever in human history

2. ban/stop/curtail/ OFCOM's intrusive intervention in the British public's home viewing - remove their mandatory and arbitary controls on home viewing set-top boxes so adults and parents can decide what is viewed in their own households

NB : I belive the VM set-top box has a function whereby the account-holder/adult can set the permissions for each channel.

All that need to be done is for it to be made compulsory for the permissions to be set when the box is set-up and it be compulsory for permissions to be set by the parent/adult/VM-customer for viewing programs/groups under various classifications eg 15s and 18s and yes even R18s
