Can’t find a link for download. It is just going from one place to another.The Olympic Link takes one to another site and doesn’t have a download link on that page.It is misleading.

@21 Detector van is a myth. Like some private empleyee has the right to enter your apartment is.

I read a lot on the German equivalent, the “GEZ”. Research it and stand in awe. They are even nastier than what you described here. Then, for every TV a fee is applicatable.
Internet, too by now, for a (lower) radio fee.
Do some research, it’s quite interesting. Unfortunately, all sources I know have been in German.

A TV licence? OMG. Now I’ve heard it all. Way to kill traditional TV, lawmakers/regulators. Not that I care, per se…

Oh and to the average British citizen, the fact that this is even possible under your noses speaks volumes.

The UK is lost. And I believe it’s gone for good. Fool Britannia!

Damn nice opening performance, like the Taichi & finale on the torching up of the big Olympic “candle”. So what if there’r scandal of the lil girl singer & the CGI of the fireworks. No big deal! Every1 fakes once in a while, every sports have the doping, every counter-strike player still thinks they can take on OSAMA…big DEAL. Juz enjoy the moment when is good enuf…

If you guys dig deep , you will find the most download for Olympics 2008 Opening Ceremony is coming from China.

The reason is the version screen on the China TV channel is so bad , too much time in the show for China Gov Leaders, sometimes even the camera is not very well focused .

So the people in China try to find a better version or non-China version.

That’s hardly too surprising. I chose to download the opening ceremony instead of watching it live because I’m currently in a foreign country where it wasn’t broadcast with English commentary. I’m also downloading a lot of the events I want to see for the same reason, though I’m doing most of that by streaming from sites like NBCOlympics and Yahoo7, bypassing their stupid IP-address-based regional restrictions, which wasn’t too difficult.

@17 – I did do SOME research! I do know how to use google! I just didn’t go beyond the first result which was the official TV licensing website.
I am going to be moving to the Netherlands so will I also need a license or is it just a UK thing??

@23
You mean #16 rather than #14, right? Make sure you are more careful about what which post you are quoting lest others become confused.

QUOTED FOR THE GOLDEN TRUTH! my Tv can go and rot in the streets for all i care, i cant control what i WANT to watch, the stations just throw cheap shows in our faces littered with commercials every 10 minutes and then there’s my parents fighting over the remote at the worst times possible. ever since i found P2P Videos i have never looked back at that cursed silver screen.

anon – fraid not, detector vans can’t be used to get warrents, since the equipment has never passed public/peer scrutiny. And remmeber, they can detect a television (an old CRT one anyway), but that doesn’t require a license in itself. One that’s hooked up to an antenna does. I myself had a house that had a sky digital dish on the front, but wasn’t hooked up. We had a TV, but it was connected only to a DVD player, and a VCR, so didn’t need a license. A licensing guy knocked on the door, I refused him entry, and he said he’d get a warrent. I implored him to, and he was never heard of again. They require you to incriminate yourself in order to get any sort of case.

@17
Perhaps you could do some research, which I did immediately. There are “detector vans” which are used to obtain search warrants, and fines are imposed on violators. It is used to fund BBC.
