I would like to know how to block the BBC channels from my box. I will miss it but am prepared to make the sacrifice. Could you please give some technical advice on how to do the blocking.

Perhaps it will bring about the demise of this lair of taxpayer-funded, license-fee funded fatcats? If it does, then it will have achieved far more than was originally intended.
By the way, Greg, the BBC is not owned by Murdoch, but it might as well be, for all it is worth.

You cant disconnect just the Murdochs Fox and BBC from your cable TV. But you can block those channals on your box and the cable companies will know that you are. The new box relays all info back to the company. And yes the BBC and FOX are owned by Murdoch… So this protest will work if a lot of people block those channals..

I can’t believe how stupid the BBC is being. The BBC as a whole can do nothing but lose on this issue. Their refusal is benefiting the appeal with more media exposure than airing it would have provided. They’re losing the in the UK public opinion arena. The story has gone international and tarnishing their reputation as impartial with their international audience. (Personally, I now associate BBC more with the likes of Fox News.) They’re on the same side of the issue as Rupert Murdoch for god’s sake. Doesn’t that tell them something?

what is curious about this is that if enough people do it, then the BBC (and the Government) are stuck.

since Israel has just announced that it is renewing its attacks today (Tuesday), this could all turn into a well-deserved disaster for the BBC.
