Broadband TV
I think this is the wave of the future for TV - as BT progressively increases Broadband rates (speed) accross the country then we will be able to watch TV from all over the world
How long till the government realise the money spent on introducing digital TV may not have been such a good idea?
and
How long until we need to buy a Computer Licence (to replace the TV one!!!?

BT it is said have had the technolgy to downstream TV for a long time, but were stoped by goverment regulations (to stop a monpoly of TV service). In london there has been a service for years where flims can be downloaded via a dsl link, can't remeber the name of the company.
I think Disney are to make most of there tv output avaible on the internet, which has peed off the british broadcasters as it will be released for free before its avaibale here.
In less than two years i would think it fairly normal to watch your Media Centre PC with Large Screen for Programes both Visual and Audio, for technically minded people. But will have to come far more user friendly for the majority to pick up on it.
Mates of mine living abroad and here in the UK regularly watch the football and say with a good link the quality is great, but soimetimes annoying if only a chinese cometary avaiable.
