Would you pay to access live feeds?
Having tried to watch an Iron Maiden concert live a couple of weeks ago on the Internet I know how frustrating it can be getting a stream that does not die after a few seconds...
I am more than happy to dip in and out of E4 for the coverage. At least then you do not feal out of pocket if it does not go to plan.
The internet would be censored as well as they will remove comments that are dodgy.

From my understanding, this price will only be for the internet feed. TV viewing will not incur any extra cost (as opposed to being free...)
Whats the point if you are a satellite viewer -we will get a dedicated 24 hour feed(s)?!
Sureley only Broadband Customers wil be intrested so i'd say a tenner for the whole seris but that aint gona make much money unless poeple could access it at work

I'm just glad I got rid of Telewest in favour of Sky. Ok so you have to pay to vote with Sky, I'd rther do that and have more cameras and better interactive servie than have stayed with Telewest with it's 2 feeds and inactive service.
I think the reason Channel 4 is charging for streams is not necessarily to make money from them... but to force people to watch the interactive coverage on e4... what odds Live coverage cuts to commercial breaks this year?
From what I remember E4 cut to adverts last year but not all the time. They tended to do it after e4 closed for the night, or when there was a big block they wanted to censor (or keep for the c4 show)
They showed adverts during the day but not during the night.
Last year they had a very limited 'range' of adverts featuring those bloody annoying flies!
I hope they're a bit more interesting this year.
