   I suspect that’s due to the large number of Brits in Oz who can’t stand shouty Harvey Norman ads every 6 minutes.

      Absolutely spot on Phil. That, and the ridiculous amount of car ads too. FTA TV is banned in this household because of this.

      Erm… Doctor Who is shown on the ABC, I don’t think they show too many Harvey Norman ads.

      +1 to that. The only commercial channel I go near is Go. The utter garbage that 7, 9 and 10 show, combined with their reluctance to adhere to the schedule, not to mention the awful, shouty ads that are obtrusively louder than the program you’re watching.

   I would have said it was because the BBC is possibly the best production house in the world with massive amounts of awesome content and that in Aus, we don’t have BBC, we have BBC rebroadcast sometimes by ABC.

   I’ve tried the BBC app and I’m not sold on the content they’ve put on there. Where is University Challenge or the many other shows that they show? Where are the British local news bulletins? They seem to have forgotten that a chunk of their market are British expats who want to keep in touch wit’mother country.
   I’m hoping that Channel 4 follow the BBC’s lead as their content is far more aligned with my tastes. Google 4od to see what they offer. If that were available as an app on my (yet to be purchased) Smart TV for $10 a month, I’d subscribe in a heartbeat.

      Would that Australian content producers (TV or music) made digital download content that was available internationally for its expats (or conceivably just other people).
