what can be done? dump the operating system that can't watch the system. and get a lovely new vista machine like mine.

i don't agree that the licence fee is value for money as i watch less than 2 hours of bbc television per week. why don't they enter a pay-per-view agreement like sky then if you want the channels then you pay if not you don't have to pay the tax, sorry fee. i would however be able to watch the program online without a licence – go figure.
