did anyone like me wonder why they are moving it over to broadband from aerial.
Is it just me who is old fashioned and still think that TV is best via aerial?
TV transmission via aerial (Freeview terrestrial or satellite) is very expensive for the broadcaster, at least it appears so if you have an alternative (broadband multicast) method of distribution available to you at comparatively low cost.
I can well see the appeal (to BT) of broadband distribution of their TV channels in lieu of Freeview although there are, surely, going to be massive contractual issues with many sports fans to whom BT's current broadband deals are only acceptable if the BT Sport channels are included, but become grossly overpriced if those channels are no longer available.
What is going to happen about those punters excluded from BT Sport channels on the grounds that their broadband simply isn't up to the task of streaming hi-def. telly (or standard def. for that matter)? Are such 'excluded' punters going to be offered FTTC at highly tempting rates? I predict violence on the terraces unless BT bites the bullet on this one.
