Yes I have bt youview  which includes all the catch up stuff I have a 
Netflix account anyway but would have to pay for it if I wanted to watch 
it on Youview  So leaving to one side the licence fee I'm paying for the 
BT tv package and didn't want BBC content ? What then ?

What, after ISPs have been asked to give up all their data to spooks 
already ?  Current regulations about copyright and intellectual property 
are a mess.  Most if not all were designed before digital happened.  The 
only people who will make money out of any of that are Lawyers. 
Politicians don't have a clue.
