Jeremy Clarkson suspended by BBC...

[chris watton]

I built a small HTPC for the TV, but also powerful enough to run games from Steam. We could use the TV, PS3 or PC to watch Amazon Prime content - my wife uses her iPad to watch stuff when not in the living room.

i see a few issues, top gear worked by taking piss out of the BBC, which can't be done now.

Do you watch Amazon on your TV or on a computer?

It's one of the channels on our Sony internet TV.

And JC taking the piss out of the "interweb thingy" I doubt I'll bother to watch it 'cos I don't know what an HTPC is and I have intention of watching it on an iPad when I have a decent TV in my comfy lounge

Clarkson, Hammond and May are going to be on Amazon Prime.

Wow!

[jmorgan]

Wonder what the format will be......



Oh I don't know, wish them well and all that. I like what they were doing but it was long in the tooth. One show will never be enough to get me to sign up for Amazon.

Think of Prime as a delivery service with free TV

This! I've been a prime member for a few years, and I got it purely to save trips into town (inside M25 so can also get same day delivery), all the TV, music and kindle library are just nice extras.

Anyone know if Clarkson, Hammond and May are getting closer to a return...?

Channel 5 or Radio 3 probably.

I heard Netflix and RT.

I'm delighted at how much this must be annoying those who just want Clarkson muzzled and thought they'd got their wish. I hope it turns out that he's making a packet out of this.

Oh working for Amazon - you know the ones that pay all that tax
Who the hell watches that?
I would rather watch 5th Gear - at least the cars get a look in instead of three middle aged (well one of em is oldish) pissing around and laughing at each others jokes.

[otolith]

I am sure 5th gear value your support. God knows they need it, the next step down is the shopping channel. Still, if you want to hear all about how many cubby holes the latest diesel MPV has, where else are you going to go?

Hopefully Clarkson has been able to avail himself of Amazon's tax planning expertise in setting up the contract.

I'll not be sjgnung up for prime but I'll still watch it. Theres not much tv I consider worth paying for, and Top Gear isn't an exception.

How will you still watch it as its subscription only now - or will you be leveraging someone else who has paid so you don't have to...

I expect that there will be a lot of ripped off copies going around the web for a while. Wonder how they will police it.

I think you're posting on the wrong forum. None of us want that.

Erm, they can't. Police the internet??
