Spoiling a nice walk

There is yet a little hope for us oldies as Greg Norman heads the Open leaderboard.

I find it rather more intriguing that the BBC is webcasting its coverage here. Are all or most major sporting events to be available in future on the net? What does this mean for traditional tv? And if the BBC can do this for sport (and increasingly for political events such as PMQs), why not for other programmes?

Meanwhile, the i-player goes from strength to strength, even if it is not totally reliable in terms of which programmes can be re-played. But it is seriously altering my tv habits.

All of this is rather disruptive to someone who was brought up on a diet of binary choice (BBC or ITV) black and white telly. But I think I like it ...
