8/10 again! I'm not entirely certain what MTV is let alone when it debuted, and it was a toss up between 16:9 and 2:1 for ratios and I picked wrong!

That's interesting that you do not recognize what MTV is. Where are you from? It used to be REALLY popular both in Europe and the US back in the day.

Slow and steady wins the race I guess. 10/10 but sub 9800. Losing like 70 points on the first question is never a good sign for speed. 😂

The British fee is only for live broadcasts? Like, you can’t watch the news, but you could watch pre-recorded programming?

It’s for live TV. And for BBC on demand (iplayer)

So you can watch DVDs, Netflix, VHS (lol) without a license.

As a result we had the best national broadcaster for 50 years.

But even if you pay, you can't watch outside UK, or at least not in Germany.

BBC is partly funded by selling the international rights of their shows to foreign broadcasters, those rights wouldn't be worth much if you could just watch BBC abroad anyway.

I doubt many of the overseas viewers are brits with a TV licence who happen to be on holiday.

But what about ex-pats who just want to watch current British TV. I'd happily pay the fee, but it's just not possible.

And it means there are no breaks for advertisements in BBC programmes.

watching shows at the time they are broadcast, doesn't matter whether they are "live" like news or sports or pre recorded like films.

We can watch catchup TV over the net at other times, but we can't watch at the same time they are being broadcast,

"Television" does not come from the Greek roots for "far" and "sight." "Tele" is from the Greek, but "vision" has Latin, not Greek, roots.

Stupid to get the first one wrong.

Germany will also put you in prison if you don't pay the €18 fee every month.

Got the 10/10 this time, although I was pretty slow on the last 3 in particular, and Bhutan was more an educated guess than anything.

8/10…but by I did like the points that were made to both Brits (who else in the works pays to watch live tv, not even North Korea) and to the Americans (real football/soccer is the most popular sport to watch globally, not your advertising fest that is the Super Bowl).

I got the FIFA question right easily. But, on the live TV question, I immediately said, well it'snot the UK and guessed from there. almost every time I immediately eliminate one that's the answer, and I ought to remember that next time.

6/10 ouch. I was really hoping for a Philo Farnsworth question, but instead it was sports and Bhutan and things.

Wasted a lot of time on the first question looking for a word with two Greek roots but there wasn't one. So then the answer had to be television although it's not composed of two Greek roots.

Americans always massively over-estimate how popular the Super Bowl is outside of the US. 17% thinking it's more watched than the World Cup final is insane.
