My view on this is that if you pay your UK TV licence then you are entitled to view BBC content. If you don't then you aren't.

Fair enough . . . or it would be if it were not for a steeply sloping playing field.

I pay for a UK license, and even if I could reclaim some of it when I head west, I never seem to get around to it. So, I'm a payer. I'm also a very sad case that seems to need Jeremy Clarkson to cheer me up. Oh, and Jeremy Paxman to stimulate me brain on Uni Challenge. That's about it really. Not a lot to ask.

Then there's the issue of the Beeeeeb selling our stuff to PBS and the like. I helped pay for a lot of that drama, and PBS pump it out to the Americans free of charge.

So, I don't have a moral issue with it. But that doesn't help with the issue of Anchor not letting me see it* on my laptop, while I can still use ExPS on my PC. Just can't figure that out.

*now, who gives that company the right to charge for circumventing the rules? No one, I betcha.

Disgruntled from Frinton.
