British TV Station Offers Downloads
Richard W.M. Jones writes "Remember how the British just love
to download TV?
Well, British terestrial TV channel
five
has announced that it will become the
first to offer TV programmes to download legally.
Except that they don't quite seem to
get it yet. They are
offering
here some videos from
this
car programme which apparently didn't quite make
it to air, for the princely sum of
£1.50 (about $3), in DRM'd WMV 10 format
(mplayer plays them fine).
Still, it's a start, and it looks
like they're just testing the water.
Hopefully they won't take the lack of
response as 'proof' that there's no
demand.
There's
more
about this at the BBC's website."
Where is Star Trek Enterprise, I can't find it anywhere on their site
And here was me thinking most trannies want to get rid of the gear stick they've already got!
No, I think it's just to get the "the real goal is to get the one posting the 'spam warning' modded up" post modded up!

Bottle of water anyone?
That's not fair. What actually happens is that some Top Gear Rejects who got the sack because they refused to cut down on their sexist-innunedo-rate drive cars quickly, before going on to demonstrate why driving a car quickly and presenting a car programme are two completely seperate skills, and they've got bugger all of the latter one.
Meanwhile, Clarkson, May and Hammond are frankly average drivers at best, and leave that stuff to The Stig before doing their real jobs of entertaining me for 60 minutes.

Whoa! Talk about a *bold-faced* lie.
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
