And to be honest, TV is crap. Here in the UK we have online catchup services for the BBC, ITV and Channel 4 only Five is missing a catchup service. And if you want to watch live news coverage BBC News (24) streams video via the BBC site.
So I'm glad that I live in a country which contributes as a whole towards the nations health.
Update: LPTS says we should get political, so lets.
For me if the UK didn't have free health care then I would be probably be paying a lot for all the health care (for a fact I know some medicines I take cost the NHS thousands of pounds a month to buy).
Not to put a downer on things. Good luck setting up your own business.

Quote: In a statement the BBC said: “We have not entered into any formal agreements with Zattoo to redistribute BBC channels”. ITV said: “We wouldn’t rule out third party deals, but there aren’t any in place at the moment”. Channel 4 said: “We don’t have any formal arrangements with Zattoo”. Five said: “The inclusion of the Five service on Zattoo has not been authorised or licenced by Five”.
