That will be good. But CITV?!

Now the question is will this come to the States?

Yeah I watched all of the Andersons shows, they made Great TV shows.

CITV (short for Children's ITV) is a British television channel from ITV Digital Channels Ltd, a division of ITV plc. It broadcasts content from the CITV archive, as well as commissions and acquisitions. It airs daily from 6am to 6pm. The channel has averaged 200,000 viewers everyday having a 0.8 share of the TV audience in the UK.

Freeview Channel 75

Ah I see, 200,000 viewers eh? In the whole of the British Isles? I'm not one of them LOL.

I only use online catchup services, iPlayer, 4OD etc as I don't have an antenna or aerial - and therefore don't have a TV Licence. I won't have one out of principle. Maybe when I'm retired or unemployed and have time for TV, but not for now :)

Well if you watch "live streams" from any source you do in fact need a licence, aerial or not. You do not need a licence if you only watch "catch up" or time shifted programs.

Well, apart from being the pioneers of "Supermarionation" Gerry & Sylvia Anderson were also suggesting that in real life, perhaps a UN based International Task Force could be set up to deal with world wide disasters. A humanitariasn concept that I fear is unlikely to transpire in my lifetime, even though the technology is there to do it.

Virgin Galactic, is about to produce an equivalent to Thunderbird 1, the British built Harriers proved the concept of Thunderbird 2, the space shuttle has already mimicked Thunderbird 3. Various existing Bathyscapes are Thunderbird 4, and the ISS of course is the equivalent of Thunderbird 5.

So who knows ....

DVD's

Some here in the US would not want that, even if it were genuine help offered, they like to scream a couple of tired old words, of which I won't repeat and that's all I'll say, lest it become something else.

I do not watch live streams of any type. I know I'm within the law, TV Licensing tell me so :)

I've done both, no license needed here for a TV antenna though, 10 UHF channels, cost per month? $0...

The UK TV licence covers the premises, NOT any receiving equipment that may be within it.

TV licence

A reminder of the law

The law states that you need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch or record television programmes, on any device, as they're being shown on TV. This includes TVs, computers, mobile phones, games consoles, digital boxes and Blu-ray/DVD/VHS recorders.

You don't need a licence if you don't use any of these devices to watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV - for example, if you use your TV only to watch DVDs or play video games, or you only watch ‘catch up’ services like BBC iPlayer or 4oD.

If you are over 75 you get a free TV licence.

We still don't have those here, only the TV broadcasters need a license in the US.

It's not really a "licence" here - it's more a "TV Tax".

The only program I have watched this evening is "Back to the Future" on DVD. I'm out working all day so really don't see the point in paying £150 a year for something that would add no value whatsoever to my life. TV rots the brain apparently...

Here We have commercials that help pay for TV broadcasts, but no tax to the people receiving the TV signal, some stations are privately owned and others are not.

Oh, if you happen to watch your favorite television show (like a newscast) you are supposed to get both the presenter as well as the rest of the story.

Kind of, that is.

We have to pay like 25 euros a month to get digital TV.

10 digital channels here, via a county owned satellite TV translator, paid for by local property taxes, they theoretically could go to 12 channels, but state law says 10 is the max that the translator can have.

In the UK, BBC1, BBC2, BBC3, are paid for by the TV licence fee. ITV and Channels 4 and 5 are commercial channels funded by adverts. Of course there are numerous other Freewiew and Freesat channels, that require a set top box or dish.

Well unless you have a TV with built in digital tuner then you actually need a set top box to receive anything!! As there is no analogue TV in the UK. Of course all new TV's come equipped with a built in "Freeview" tuner, with a channel line up of over 50 TV channels plus 26 radio.

I would gladly pay for all TV channels so I didn't have to watch adverts, I hate adverts with a passion. Even good adverts get old pretty quickly. Which is why I would never have SKY TV, you pay for the privilege of having the service and some of the SKY channels have adverts??? Why!

Did I mention I hate adverts

Well lets see, My 57" TV has 2 tuners(Ntsc and Atsc), a 1 way cable card slot in the back(so no box would be needed for cable TV), separate video, hdmi, dvi video input, output for a woofer, plus the TV will do 1920x1080, at 20' it looks pretty good, but then a smaller tv would be unreadable to My eyes, I'm lucky I can read this 19" screen, but I have the text blown up some to where I don't need My glasses which can give Me a neck ache. Best $1500 I ever spent too back in 2006 on a TV. :)

Geez, I haven't had a working television in the house for.....15 years or more.
The only time I watch any TV is when I go to Lori's place on the weekends.
Watching 'The Followers' now...Kevin Bacon is great.
And we have keeping up with 'Once Upon a Time'...very creative series.
Kiefer Sutherland does have a new series coming up called, I think, Touch.
The previews so far seem to be the best thing he has done since '24'.
