Perhaps, but nobody made similar complaints about discussions of 
SchedulesDirect, which has the same geographic limitations.

I think any MythTV user would be interested in content that's available over 
the internet, it ties in perfectly with the "mythical fusion box" that we are 
all striving for.

How long do you think it would be before somebody in the USA set up 
a "repeater" of some sort to distribute the content outside the USA? It's 
already been demonstrated that a lot of folks do not care about obeying the 
terms of license for the material in question.

If revenue can be made by this sort of distribution don't you think the BBC 
would pay attention, and look into similar possibilities with their content? 
Or any other non-USA network?

I think it is topical, at least as much as most material here.
