Also, I believe that it will <em>become</em> free after all the testing "A BBC spokesperson added that the service would be tweaked over coming weeks to improve service and image quality and in an effort to <strong>eliminate the need to purchase the Internet Channel</strong>." There must be enough people that want to watch catch-up tele on their tv's to warrant this move. Personally I'll record the programmes if I know that I'm going to be out, or if I'm out of the country for a while then the laptop will have to suffice. My only other concern is the quality - from my experience it aint to sparkling on my laptop or my PC......I wonder what it'll be like on a huge LCD or Plasma?
