Idea: The International Television Archive...

How about this as a good idea? You know how people have tapes from the seventies right to the nineties with films, containing commercials, old news broadcasts and even old shows and network IDs? How about if people set up bit torrent networks and transfer these lost icons (the ads, news broadcasts and ids) onto DVD format so that people could watch them and feel the nostalgia of a lost time. It could be a good idea if put into motion. A fan based archive for free access to the past. Protecting TV’s past for our future enjoyment. Then we will have peace.

Some of that does happen. Just not enough I'm afraid. I have seen stuff like that on MySpleen. A lost of pepple go the DIVX route which I don't like that much. I would much rather have a compliant DVD to watch on my standalone too.

If this ever happens I want to know about it.
