| BBC, Sky, ITN all suck big time. Try watching Al Jazeera, there's always
| something fairly important or interesting on there, and no
| "entertainment news" (a contradictory term in itself).
I like the jazeera news (I get it from the Sky News package), it helps
give a different view on things and covers more international news, I
like BBC as well, but there are some things jazeera covers that BBC
never mentions (unless a briton was involved). i just wanted to try
al-jazzera online now, while I am at work (windows machine) and I
needed to install real player plugin, tried to do it from firefox, it
failed, tried to do it manually and I had to register to real player all
the non-sense, vnced to my machine at home, tried it from there on
ubuntu, and I guess it works (saw mplayer run but no video, maybe a vnc
thing). those restriced and extra packages in the repos, I think they
make it easier to get plugins and codecs for ubuntu that it is for windows!
