not quite.


See......we also have cable TV and satellite TV that have adverts and you have to pay for them.  We also have channel you don't have to pay for (ITV and Channel 4) that have adverts.  Then there's BBC1 & BBC2 which have no adverts but we have to pay for a TV license, we don't get a choice over this, even if you never ever watch the BBC you've still gotta pay for a license.  This goes to the gov which in turn pay for the BBC.

There's more.

We've also got digital channels like BBC3, BBC4 and channel 5, some of which have adverts, some dont, some you need to pay for as well (plus the license in the first place) and they're all rubbish anyway.

Look at it this way, if it wasn't for 30 million Brits paying for TV licenses you Yanks wouldn't have great shows like Red Dwarf to watch.

Yeah we get Red Dwarf   on PBS with no commercials but we also get inundated with the "whining for dollars" marathon at least twice a year and some times more often, where they innterupt the program even more frequantly than advertisments would.

Why clutter up your system with a download manager when you have broadband?
