   I hope BBCs move becomes a precedent for future Internet TV services.

   Actually, all major TV stations in South Korea have been offering download service for years.. MBC,, SBS, KBS.. too bad most of the programme are in Korean. and there is a website , afreeca.com, where you can broadcast your own contents via internet for free.

   Well, Danish public TV (dr.dk – also w/o advertising) has been doing this for almost a year now in 1 Mbit/s quality.

   Nice to see a major broadcasting company stepping up to the plate. I was not aware of South Korea offering download service or Danish public TV (not surprising).

   It always takes one advernturous group to get the ball rolling and refine what all the other will jump on soon enough.

   Great post!

   Sounds good, but it probably will turn out to be Windows only. If they support Mac and Linux, great – otherwise, not so much.

   Whether or not they support Mac or Linux doesn’t seem to be too important yet (I’m a Mac user) but rather that they may actually slowly push some of the other giants to doing it as well. Eventually we need cross-platform stuff, but I’m just glad to see that somebody is making a move. I’m really surprised that someone like MTV doesn’t do something like this…partnering with MySpace or some other high-class website. Seems like it would be very successful with their target audience.
