BTVC

I know its an old topic but I stumbled on it today due to TVMucho going offline so I was doing a few web searches for relevant topics and have never seen this before. My reply might be relevant now since TVMucho has gone offline and some people in your part of the world might be looking for an alternative. For the record, the British TV Club operates as a members only club in an effort to stay legal! The "Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988" clearly states that is is against legislation to broadcast to the public. We do not broadcast to the public, it's as simple as that. Memberships are vetted, many are declined. There is no instant access to our club or to watch TV to the public. I believe this part of the reason why we are still around in 2023 when many like us have closed down. Of course I would not like to test this in a court of law with the financial might of the BBC! After all they represent a big part of the "establishment" (or the "big club" as George Carlin put it!) along with HMCS etc and could probably get things changed if they tried! It is what it is, a way for Brits to watch TV in a relatively safe manner - as in - we hopefully wont disappear or remove channels without warning unlike all of the websites which *do* broadcast to the public - Filmon, TVMucho, TransponderTV, ExpatTV, TVCatchup, etc. Where are they all now, or where are some of the main channels? They've all been hit hard. If anyone would like to study the act, it's here: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/48/contents
