>I definitely find myself wanting to watch older episodes of things like would I lie to you or Rhod Gilbert's work experience or HIGNFY or some other show which disappeared long ago for no real reason. You can watch selected re-runs from an archive of older content on Dave[1]. >If the BBC can solve that they have my business and I'm sure a lot of overseas business too I am not sure what you mean by they have my business ─ BBC is not based on a subscription model. It is funded by a licence fee, which is more or less mandatory, unless you can prove otherwise e.g. you don't watch live broadcast etc. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_(TV_channel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_(TV_channel)

>If the BBC can solve that they have my business and I'm sure a lot of overseas business too I meant that there's currently a market gap for a streaming service with a massive (persistent being key) catalogue of data. Netflix and others have a hodgepodge of TV/movies available, which come and go. I was suggesting that the beeb keep the service as it is in the UK, add the archive content, then release a subscription service overseas with access to the full range of shows. Having that amount of money coming into the UK would do nothing but good IMO. I've seen some replies from others as to OFCOM regulations so it seems this is just a pipe dream at the moment.

> unless you can prove otherwise Important clarification, the onus is on the TV licensing agency to prove you did watch TV whilst it is being broadcast or you use iplayer. It is not for the member of public to prove they do not.
