they're totally right of course when itv was started they should've had to compete with bbc on a technological level instead of a programming one they should've had to use incompatible tv's that only received itv and build their own broadcast networks ohh wait that's a stupid idea.

Programming companies should compete on programming, technology companies should compete for their interest, if joost was superior bbc/itv/c4 might want to deploy it.

It would just a BT of the TV. BT owning all our telephone lines nationwide has been a heel dragger in terms of costs, service and broadband. It cost £125 for BT to connect to you if you have an existing line into the property but it's not been used for 12 months+. BT should be broken up properly, and each network segment should be bid upon etc.

Believe it or not, this desktop puter isn't near as powerful as TV Converter Box.Some personal machines can handle VOD, most have trouble. Basicly ethier Army or Telco owns entire copyrighted catalog of intrest. Sure theres plenty of Dumb shows, nOT to cut CBS, yet of 9,000 shows on VOD, only about half dozen are even worth watching. Theres alful large amount of fluff & its expensive, yet near bottom of oocean in intrest. Come On, VOD Buddies, release that Glory Years of Theatre Upon US. Ole Time TheatreVision or Silent with Organ & sound effects, theres plenty of possibilites. Just Deliver D' Vision, Pronto. ST Drashek

It was a well thought out idea that would have been a creative step forward in the way we view our programs. It would have many benefits and no apparent down sides.

It didn't stand a chance!
