Comments 00:45am on 28 Jun 2009 We finally cut to see a great show even if it was cut a bit. Thanks BBC.
Comments 10:19pm on 27 Jun 2009 getoveritbsfans: you came here just to post that? If you've got a problem with it:

For pete's sake just STOP READING
Comments 10:05pm on 27 Jun 2009 Pitiful. Just watched Edith Bowman wittering on about how great he is for a guy in his sixties. The presenters have no clue, the management should be fired. A disgrace.
More from the BBC Red Button "What If..." files 08:52am on 17 Jun 2009 Talking of things that have been around for a while, full red button service on Freesat would be nice. It's been over a year guys.
Changes to international pages 11:18am on 14 Jun 2009 No problem, there are plenty of other sites I can get my UK news coverage from without having to jump around different pages first, I'll just use one of those. Bye.
What's On BBC Red Button: 9 - 22 May 11:45am on 10 May 2009 Boilerplated, I'm not sure whether you're taking the mickey or genuinely don't understand the point. Either way, it doesn't matter. Here's hoping the relevant BBC staff have a better grasp of the situation.
What's On BBC Red Button: 9 - 22 May 5:57pm on 09 May 2009 Completely different point, Boilerplated. I pay the same as everyone else, yet receive less for my money. Whether what we all pay has increased or not is irrelevant - in return for paying £x.xx, each license payer should receive the same service.
What's On BBC Red Button: 9 - 22 May 4:18pm on 09 May 2009 I cannot begin to tell you how annoyed I am that Freesat customers cannot view the Big Weekend coverage on the Red Button.

In fact, the first SEVEN listings on this page are not available on Freesat.

It's high time we stopped getting treated as a low priority customer base. I don't notice any discounts on my license fee. Sort it out, please.
Why no Wire? 9:58pm on 31 Mar 2009 Phazer, stop playing the internet hard man and calling people stupid, dim etc. The BBC have classified this as an adult blog.

You don't have to be defending illegal file sharing or trying to rationalise theft to understand that when accessibility is restricted, people will find a way around it. You can argue about the rights and wrongs of that all day long, but that doesn't stop it happening.

The sensible response to that would be to put in place practices that work with and take advantage of today's technologies. Some, notably the BBC, are making progress in that direction, but there's still a long way to go.

Unfortunately too many institutions and individuals, including you it seems, try to reduce this to a simplistic black and white issue. That might help you feel smart when writing blog comments, but it won't solve the problem.
Why no Wire? 7:32pm on 31 Mar 2009 This "thorny" issue of rights - in other words financiers protecting their interests and ignoring those of the viewer - is a major contributor to the ongoing massive popularity of obtaining content through file sharing.

And instead of doing anything constructive to adapt, the industries concerned together with their lapdog "agencies", try and find more and more efficient and expedient ways to chase down and prosecute individuals - the same Individuals who could have been contributing to broadcasters' viewing figures, had those broadcasters the wit to put together a business model fit for the twenty-first century.
