I find absolutely no problem with C4, not that I want to watch competitive cooking or property porn...

My desktop is I think a bog standard kubuntu one with the medibuntu repo stuff added, certainly did nothing special to make this stuff work.

On DRM and streaming there is this from The Register

Of course I don't really want to even pay for a TV licence, but in principle accept creators should get paid and that really and truly I should stump up a few quid (just so long as it's by series/episode/etc). But this looks like a form of DRM I could live with. It looks like stuff could be copied and even shared with friends, but one stands the possibility of being nuked if you seed it to TPB.

I wait to be shot down...
