Ainslie asked me the same question off list and I thought it might be useful to post the response I have just sent him! Yes it would be great for everyone 'down under' or indeed 'across the pond' etc, but the BBC would lose a huge amount of revenue....which it really does need. Even retired UK folks in Spain who have bought a Licence have complained that they can't log in to 'listen again' or indeed 'watch again' because the website checks their provider address first. I think TV companies have been buying in the programmes so they usually become available in Oz and the US, but you have to wait of course, hence my apology to folks like you! There's a page for people to chat on which is often interesting even if you haven't seen the programme. Some comments are from people who have helped make it and talk about where they went for records etc. Ruth - in sunny Brum, but more rain forecast until November!!!! > Hi folks, > > I thought I was onto a winner for a few minutes when I decided to check > out the BBC TV site to see if the program might be available for > download to us poor cousins here in OZ (and NZ??) for viewing these > fantastic programs ie Who Do You Think You Are? > BUT I discovered we're out of luck Downunder - there being no licensed > carrier to bring the program to us - does this mean there is no > satellite available to bounce the signal off?? > > Cheers > Ainslie. > in cold, damp & dismal Adelaide, Sth Australia
