Earlier this week I obtained a copy of the new series of H2G2, Quandary Phase part 1, because I missed its broadcast and I missed the 7-day Listen Again deadline on the website. Admittedly it's radio, not TV, but it's the same principle. In the case of the BBC I have no problem with acquiring a copy from someone else who recorded it. After all, my licence fee payed for the darned thing! I would say similar about ITV probably, as it is free-to-air and paid for by advertisers. I don't know what to think about TV recorded from a subscription channel ... the only stuff I have ever acquired in that category is some eps of BSG from a forum member, but again I subscribe to Sky One anyway and simply missed them when broadcast.
