US & English/European heating systems.

I listened to a talk show years ago and they said in some European countries maybe
even on the BBC channels, that they did run commercials, but they were only allowed
to run commercials for a few hours at a time, and only very early in the mornings, or
late at night.... Is that true ? I know over here in USA they have 30 minute commercials
for some products, and yes there are times when the 30 minute ad is better than some
of the regular programing on other stations ! Ha Ha !

It does seem like you guys have a steep license fee, is it for Over The Air tv on antenna
or is that include cable ( Good clear picture ) ?? It's a fee per set right or per household ?

You know they are kicking themselves in the A** over here for not thinking of that
license fee + cable fee + some other fee ! I remember when I was a kid, I
thought that pay tv (cable) was tv programs with no commercials ! I remember
when I saw cable for the first time and it had commercials I couldn't understand
the reason people would get it ! In the NYC market, there always seemed
to be plenty on tv.
