Do you get the digital channels? BBC Three and Four show some excellent programmes. Radio 4 is very good, too. Mind you, the real terms cut in the license fee and extra obligations placed on the BBC recently won't help the quality.
A lot of people feel the same way about the decline in output quality on the terrestrial TV. But I agree with Russell about 3, 4, and the radio. Whatever your view though, they are still going to take the licence fee off you, so I would urge any UK readers to go to the BBC Trust site at http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/consult/open_consultations/ondemand_services.h... and express your views. The consultation is not solely about a Microsoft-only system, though, and I would remind everyone that it's likely that sounding like you've given the whole consultation thought is probably likely to get more results than if one comes off as simply someone who hates Microsoft. I would imagine that the bulk of people reading your input are probably not technical specialists.
