Good. I don't want to see them wasting loads of money on what has the potential to just be another novelty that the public gets bored of anyway.
(My God that sounds grumpy )
Agree - it's too much of a gamble in the short term.
Not their job to innovate, in my eyes.
If they can do something relatively cheaply, and see how it goes, then fine - I'm not going to complain. But investing in expensive Tomorrow's World technology on the off-chance it takes off, and until then providing for 0.1% of viewers? Nah, let's leave that to someone else please.

I have to agree with HW_90 a little, £145.50 for the BBC is pretty terrible in my eyes and there is no other choice but to pay it. If it was about half that price I wouldn't begrudge it at all.
Back on topic - Good for the BBC, its only a experimental technology and so should let others develop it.
I won't be paying it when my latest one runs out. Simply put, it's bull**** and anything I really want to see I can go to my mates house and watch it. That would be the F1 and Doctor Who, and no it's not worth £150 a year to me while the rest of the time it collects dust.
I do believe in the BBC and the ideology behind the licence, I just don't believe in the **** they put on tv and force us to pay.
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

I don't quite understand what that smaller headline means in the article... But I couldn't disagree more! I'd rather watch a cam-recorded rip of Batman on a 14" black and white TV, than Bridget Jone's diary in 3D on a 60" plasma on blu-ray.
If the BBC were to start putting money towards 3D later down the line, I would certainly sign a petition against it.
I absolutely agree with you. However, it was meant to be a play on "it's not what you say, but the way that you say it". Perhaps should have put a "?" at the end to make it more clear.
I'll be the first to admit I'm astonishingly bad at coming up with titles and headlines.
Short of iPlayer, which will come under the license fee at some point, there isn't anywhere you can legitimately watch BBC content without a license.
Absolutely, by far the best value for money of any service I currently pay for. Long may it continue.
A few good reasons for this non-decision:
- 3D might not be that big of a deal, but it eats up bandwidth
- No easily spot-able winner in 3D
- Keeps SKY off their back by not moving into virgin territory like they did with Iplayer.
FYI on the License Fee, it does not just pay for the BBC; but for Freeview, Freesat, Public service broadcasting on ITV/C4/C5 and the terrestrial broadcast network.
If you hate the cheap commercial crap on the BBC then why would cutting funding help any? Also Britain isn't some special case with the only TV license in the world. Go ask a New Zealander how much like their broadcasting now the license was scrapped.
Edit: Man I was in a grump today. Sorry guys. Maybe I should cheer the hell up
