So, will this new way of doing business be "added" to the extortion already out there for NHK? Fight the good fight and do not pay.......

"Demand" is a word I already associate with NHK.

Is that like the BBC's iPlayer? The Beeb makes that available free for all UK residents without checking whether or not you've paid your licence fee.

Forgive me but the words "enjoy" and "NHK television programming" used in the same sentence are enough to make me throw up.

Tokyotom: Because NHK gets fees from the viewers, there are no commercials. By the way, with harddisk recorders (time-machine) you can also skip the commercials.
