Not really because I don't watch it at all because it hasn't got any progs on that I want to watch and I have been wanting it to go for years. Like another user said a few days ago, if the BBC channels were changed to a package/bundle option on Sky/Virgin/BT just like the Disney channels/movies etc how many people do you think would opt to pay for it? If your answer is loads of people because the BBC is awesome then that is what they should do and let it sell on it's merits.[/QUOTE]

so stuff would get made that people presumably want to watch vs all the stuff they make now that they don't want to watch (implied). The difference is that I choose to pay for Sky and yes there are many many channels that I don't watch but that is because there are a handful of channels which have everything on that I love so I still get my moneys worth out of my subscription. The difference between the BBC and everyone else is that if I decided I wasn't getting value for money from my subscription then I could cancel it, I can't do that with BBC. Even if Sky etc wasn't around I still wouldn't watch BBC because I would be watching boring dross for the sake of it.
