This whole 'Beeb do Digital' thing has been a drama, comedy, soap opera and chat show all in one. Genius.

It's nice to see the Beeb back on the cutting edge of entertainment distribution.

The best bits are that I don't have to fork out for a license fee to enjoy it, and can revisit it for my amusement at any time in the future.

Hey anonymous,

If you have nothing to hide and thus nothing to fear, why are you posting anonymously ?

works for me

i haven't been contributing to beeb tax for years now and couldn't honestly say that i miss them. the licence fee i save covers the dvds of the very occasional programmes that i would enjoy. RSS feeds and conversations keep me informed in greater detail and diversity than i could manage with a tv.

we have a globally connected communications network at our disposal, and free (as in speech) software from projects like Dyne:bolic (http://dynebolic.org) to play, record, edit, remix and broadcast for ourselves.

the revolution might not be televised, but it'll probably be streamed live from mobiles.
