I'm really not as anti-tax as most of the American folks here, but ... yeah, no thanks. Of the various things that I think should be supported by taxes -- like scientific research, exploration, health care, infrastructure -- television in any form is not on that list. As much as I love NPR and PBS, I don't think they'd be better off if they were funded by taxes. And since I can't easily or directly watch the BBC's coverage of the Olympics, then they're still acting against the spirit of the Olympics, which was one of my complaints about our not-tax-funded NBC.
