Sounds like this will only be available in the UK and you'll need a TV license. So not a great solution for people who are overseas, unless they provide it on a subscription basis.
Yeah. Not exactly free when you'll have to pay £13 a month for the privilege of owning the TV to watch it on.
At £13 a month the TV license is not competitive with streaming services. If this new thing gives you access to the entire back catalog it at least becomes a bit more reasonable.
The TV licence doesn't just cover the BBCs television output though does it. When you take into account everything else it covers it makes spending £16 a month on Netflix seem like a right con.
I dunno, if you add in bbc news and radio and no ads on any services, it's definitely better value than other services
