TV

Ok this is pretty old news to. Yea you got the US ahead of us in terms of whats on offer, we are use to that. But you have developing nations such as India and Thailand that offer normal TV with 50+ channels (compared to our 5 channels). And we must wait another few years till this will change. As of recent the prime example of UK behind US in TV would be with the very popular TV series 'HEROES". The US has recently finished on season 2, while UK has finished on season 1 on generic TV. Thats a WHOLE season behind. But as i write this, there is a growing trend in todays digital world. A trend which relates to my first post. The Internet. Since broadband connections have been rolling out worldwide, streaming video on the internet has never been so good. The introduction of Youtube in recent years has boosted this also. But more notably important are the affect downloads are now having. You can virtually get anything you want from TV downloaded straight to your computer in the internets underworld. Which allows for people to watch TV when they want to watch TV. Not dictated by a schedule and with the adverts erased (great). So with this growing trend, maybe we in the UK arent in such a bad way. Never the less, we are still behind
