Delusional!The EU intervention over UK stuff being aired across Europe is just spite. It’s starting to realise that the UK, now free of its clutches, is starting to do well, and it can’t stomach that fact. No, far better to deprive millions of viewers to shows that they’ve come to trust and value.
Services like Netflix offer both breadth and depth to their service. There's plenty of different genres for people to watch, but it also offers a decent selection of foreign language material.
My goodness have you scrolled through any EPG lately, the dross on offer is mind numbing to say the least. Call me cynical but it is was probably the BBC who instigated this review knowing their end is probably nigh and want to drag other broadcasters down to their level, our competitors may transmit crap but ours is better crap!!!!!!!!.I’m a bit mystified by the enthusiasm for Netflix. Once you’ve filtered out the terrible, the stuff that’s available elsewhere, etc., that which remains is a pretty modest selection of decent content.

The whole thing is a mess. People have been turning to the likes of Netflix because of what it offers. UK PSB will never be able to compete, so trying to regulate two entirely different services seems pointless to me.
The whole idea of forcing TV companies to list the UK streaming apps. first is an utter nonsense. Forcing them to the head of the queue won't prompt people to use them if they don't have the content that people want to view.

Ofcom getting involved looks like an attempt to dumb-down the competition so that it matches the mediocre UK offerings. It should be the other way round. UK Broadcasting PLC needs to up its game. The intervention is unnecessary.
As for the sale of C4, I think that it's a good thing. The left-leaning yoof-focussed entity needs a wake-up call. It needs to cater for all age groups, not just a narrow range.
It's odd that regulation is aimed at services where one can choose to subscribe or not depending on ones needs, viewing habits at that time . Yet a forced upon us licence of a service subscription gets a free pass and protection because of its own lack of foresight .
They do seem to double up on similar types of programs last night two political programs on BBC1 and 2 at the same time and tonight 2 films pitched against each other and yet during the week no films.It's not hatred, but there has to be a balance. Because of the wall-to-wall sport on BBC1 and BBC2 at present, those licence payers who prefer not to watch it have very little choice. That's not balanced at all, to my mind. Why not use the BBC News channel to air some of the sport in conjunction with iPlayer? With ITV covering sport too, and sport on C4 too there's not much else, so it seems a bit rich for UK TV PLC to expect preferential treatment without giving viewers choice.
Bbc is uks pravda, so 1. wont ever happenOfcom should start with these:
1. Defunding the BBC.
2. Banning This Morning from ITV
No Glastonbury....that alone would make me set up a Netflix accountI’m not convinced that’s true. There’s no live TV on Netflix that I’m aware of (e.g., no Glastonbury), no sport, no news, very little arts coverage, just a sprinkling of science programmes and documentaries. Furthermore, the film selection is a seemingly random selection and isn’t noticeably better than what’s available on Freeview.
I’m a bit mystified by the enthusiasm for Netflix. Once you’ve filtered out the terrible, the stuff that’s available elsewhere, etc., that which remains is a pretty modest selection of decent content.
i disagree, i don't get the option of not paying for a service i don't used, there is nothing the BBC offers me that would want me to pay to view it.I really don't get the hatred for the BBC, right now I'm watching England v Sri Lanka, no adverts after every ball, (Sky, BT Sport, every other commercial channel) to not be bombarded by adverts is worth the license fee on its own, commercial tv is quite frankly unwatchable.
Once of a day they would and take listeners/views concerns onboard but now its seems as though the got the attitude stuff you we know what were doing everything right.The corporation doesn’t listen and is only interested in giving us what it thinks that we want. After all, the BBC can never be wrong, can it?
Dont know why when they show BBC III on BBC 1 it still has that massive pink logo probably the biggest logo I seen.BBC4 is logo-infested, as will, I'm certain, BBC3 when it finally resurfaces.
Taken from Tv Licencing Pagei disagree, i don't get the option of not paying for a service i don't used, there is nothing the BBC offers me that would want me to pay to view it.
