As I`ve said before the fairest soloution would be for the BBC to become a subscription channel and/or take adverts. But as I`ve said previously the BBC big brass wouldn`t want that because they`d have to get off their big fat backsides and go out and get advertisers.

Do adverts really bother you that much? I use the opportunity to go to the toilet or make a cuppa. when watching a BBC channel I have to either wait till the program I`m watching finishes or miss some of it(I try and make the tea/go to the loo when the program is at the padding out stage). Pausing it is anothr way but then it throws all other scheduled programs out.
