That is very interesting Flor. I must give the BBC a call though and ask
them exactly what the situation would be for me who has paid a TV licence.
I am not thinking in terms of downloading the programmes because they only
last 30 days and then automatically delete. I just watch on-line. How
does one watch the RTE ones via the Internet? Does one need an Ariel?
Incidentally Flor with reference to my e-mail address the one I am using
here is BT internet and I can use the same in Ireland though naturally
enough my ISP provider there is Eircom.
