BBC download content coming to Xbox Live

Quote:
Reports flowing around the Internet are currently suggesting that Microsoft and the BBC are immersed in talks to bring Beeb content to the Xbox 360’s Live Marketplace service, which could see on-demand media opened for download in Europe.
Speculative chatter is centred not on possible content but rather on whether the service will arrive with accompanying fees.
The Guardian indicates that while video-on-demand content usually involves an associated access fee, any Live Marketplace BBC media will arrive as already paid for by the UK’s mandatory licensing charge, subsequently creating somewhat of a grey area for UK-based subscribers who are unlikely to want to pay twice. Furthermore, the BBC’s own online iPlayer download service is in its beta development stage and will arrive capable of delivering a sizeable amount of media – for free.
Well it won't go anywhere in the UK with an additional fee is my guess

I record BBC Shows from PBS already (With my PVR) I'm not likely to pay for a downloads

We already pay for the TV licenses so shouldnt have to pay extra costs for more shows that are probably shown for free elsewhere.

Re: BBC download content coming to Xbox Live

I seriously hate that still...Why should we have to pay extra for TV shows that we're already paying for via cable/satellite? Especially when you can view these shows on their main websites for free? It's just kinda dumb really, i mean i can understand the movies not being free..but TV Shows? I mean, especially shows like Discovery, National Geographic, BBC, NBC, and more. It would atleast be nice to see Microsoft take the prices off of the learning channels for Xbox Live.
