Sorry, what I mean is, what amount would you say is fair, looking at the example pricing from the likes of Virgin Media / BT Vision and Top Up TV.

Re: Would you Pay to View TV Shows legally on your PC/Laptop?

I would love be able to pay a flat monthly free for something like a rapidshare account that had legal content but I doubt that would ever be allowed to happen. The count to be drm free and be allowed to play it on whatever I liked. If only the technology existed

iPlayer and 4od on youtube are free and can we watched after they are broadcast. Watching or recording programmes on a computer while they are broadcast requires a licence.

If you tot up all the hours of broadcasting the fraction of those programmes I'd actually want to watch is a fraction of 1% of output so no I would'nt pay a subscription to see that.
