The BBC don't have commercials
TV without commercials appeals to many. Even having to fast forward them is a nuisance I could do without.

Don't forget that we are in the beginning of a transitional period. The BBC is working on the assumption that when the next licence fee is reviewed, the current method of broadcasting channels will be phasing out and all their content will be streamed/on demand. At that point, the licence fee is likely to be scrapped in favour of a subscription and so all the participating channels on the Kangaroo type service will get a cut of the subscription fee.

The one concern I have is that we will be reliant on the broadcasters to determine the length of time that content will be displayed. I rather like the flexibility to view it at my leisure, up to about 18 months ahead. If they place the same kind of timelines as Now TV do, this will make juggling our viewing rather more difficult.

If that is a typical price for streaming it will not take off imho
Actually, it's not as bad as I thought, sorry. A subscription to Eleven Sports costs about a tenner per month in Belgium, but they get three sport channels for that.

However, it's still costing people more than before as Sky doesn't seem to be reducing their prices to reflect the loss of choice.
