Beeyun saer-ey-us about the iPlayer thing

Not only the iPlayer, but also the ITV / Channel 4 / Sky versions, etc.

Not sure I would pay a full license fee just for iPlayer, but if they also had smaller charges for incidental use (e.g. ITV) then I'd have no qualms about paying.

It's just that they way they have set it up, I don't have the option of even getting paid access which is a bit of a s**t.

And no, I didn't complain about that for more than ten years before the iPlayer and its ilk were created, because obviously if you move abroad, you don't expect to take your TV stations with you. Notice it more now just because it is there.
