Sport, sport, sport, egg, bacon, sausage and sport or lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce, garnished with truffle p�t�, brandy and a fried egg on top of sport.

Well said! One of the two new religions. Part of the dumbing down of the populace by the elite and rich, making them richer.

If you looked at the Xbox one reveal it was nothing but TV, sports and call of duty.

Everybody wants to get into TV that's where they think they can make big money on.

I agree, There is a raft of existing TV based offerings why not, like others have said, just concentrate on improving upon an already excellent (IMHO) Internet platform like faster speeds and Wi-Fi Hotspots.

There is a surplus of TV type offerings from other suppliers. Don't just do something because everyone else is doing the same thing: Sky, Talk Talk, BT Vision, Virgin and now it seems PN.TV

I despise most of all what TV stands for. Its like a direct line for advertisers into your living room. 24/7 bombarding us with multiple messages. more ads than quality programming. Making a generation of zombies.

PlusNet just Keep It Simple Stupid !!!

Another ISP doing TV seems pointless ,after all there are only so many channels available, Take Freeveiw ,You have around 8-10 channels that actually occasionaly broadcast programes worthwile watching the rest are showing repeats sometimes only 24hrs later , or shopping/gambling channels a complete waist of time, and your life spent watching it if your daft enough

I agree, I that sounds about right..

what next, drop static ips?

Now that's a thought? I hope not !!

They will only make big money from those that are silly enough to throw it at them. There is no need to while you can watch everything for free online. Whether the big Box Office fight last week, Premier football, History or documentary channels, or Sky F1, it's all free to watch online. One site will show more than all the subscription services put together.

I'm not sure when "legal" and "moral" became "silly".

Indeed. I suggest he edits the post to read "it's all free to watch online, providing you are happy to break the law and regularly walk into a supermarket to steal your weekly shopping, etc."

As usual, forum know-it-Alls know it all (Not). There is no law broken watching streams online. The only people breaking the law are the ones streaming their Sky box output or whatever. Absolutely nothing to do with stealing from a supermarket, which even if it was the case would be a welcome change from the supermarket stealing from the customer.

So, in the analogy, while you don't exactly condone theft, you don't mind handling stolen goods?

People generally only steal if there is a market for their heist. And in this case, there is only something worth stealing if sufficient people *are* paying for it properly.

I added the word "moral" in my statement for a reason. There may not be a law against it (and I'm not saying that's true), but you're free-loading off the back of someone else's sweat and graft.
