Scrap the licence fee

The are a bit annoying at the moment aren't they? If they're not punking the the queen with crazy video pranks, they're ripping off the public with phoney competitions. Why not get rid of the licence fee, and replace it with a subscription for services? "Oh no", I hear, "then the would be forced to lower standards and chase ratings in order to compete". Seems to me it's already chasing ratings at every opportunity and there's a bit too much of the trying to be the news instead of just reporting the news (OK, I read this somewhere and am just repeating it, but I do like it). Every day on BBC Breakfast one of the lead stories is about something the Beeb itself has done, this doesn't seem quite right. Also there are a few too many / type shows on all the time.

I didn't think I liked , but we do seem to spend a lot of our time watching old crime dramas on , plus we watch a lot of TV productions on DVD.

I'm not saying I wouldn't subscribe to services (I like lots of Radio 2 and we've been watching a good documentary about Bombay the last couple of days on ), but people should have the choice.

A petition. Um, not many sign ups yet.

Yeah, more writeup coming soon. Where was it I went again? Seems like ages ago, I'm struggling to remember what I liked and what I didn't.

Nice weather where you are? Looking a bit stormy here in , but we've not had the threatened ten inches of rain yet...

Possibly going out in Hythe tonight with some people from work. Just to keep you up to date on my movements.

Eminem tops our version of the ITV poll...

The man with Stan, Eminem tops our version of ITV's "Single of the Year" poll...



Asked to pick from the list of 20 nominations, you've gone for Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady" as top, Bloodhound Gang's "The Bad Touch", and Spiller (featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor)'s "Groovejet" in third...



Nick Biebuyck was the winner (yeah, I know I said no prizes, but HEY, it's Christmas nearly) and he gets a CD randomly picked. From my Raging Speedhorn pile.



For a full list, click here, and for the official ITV results, watch their program on Saturday night...

DigiTV ROCKS

Yep - that's the card I was recommending as well ! You can record a 'multiplex' at a time (a multiplex is a bunch of channels that get broadcast on the same frequency) so you can't record all TV output ;) But if it's on the same multiplex you can record & view multiple channels at the same time.

I use XP Pro with mine but it's fine with media centre. You could always add a USB DigiTV box to double up your decoding capacity if you need to...
