With Studio66 and xxpanded TV said to be joining shortly, it looks like VM are increasing their range of porn content.

Apparently, Babestation is licensed in Holland and Ofcom can't do anything about what they show; other than trying to put pressure on the Dutch regulator.

As the law currently stands, Broadcasters only need to be licensed by one EU country and can then broadcast to any other EU country.

Eurosport is another example, it is licensed in France and for many years had 7 hours of teleshopping overnight even though, at the time, Ofcom only allowed three hours in the UK. The French licence also exempts them from Ofcom imposed subtitle requirements.

I find it surprising and a little worrying that non regulated pornography can be easily picked up by satellite, Freeview and now VM customers.

I know that VM (and I assume satellite) have controls to stop children tuning in, but I believe that on Freeview there's nothing to stop children tuning in!
Given what you can see without restriction on the internet, I really don't understand what the fuss is about.

Are you exercising your right to be offended, Richard? Try hard not to tune into these channels....
