In the UK the best channels for new content are the ones provided by the BBC. However, invariably, what is on is a repeat. As for the rest of the channels, then it is hard not to watch a repeat.
The BBC don't sell advertising in the UK, the rest do. So, if I watch a movie 3/4 the way through before remembering I have seen it before, then that is all good to them and their advertisers, I have 'consumed' adverts, which is what TV is there for.
This project goes against the main goal of television which is to show as many repeats (and adverts) as possible. I cannot see Rupert Murdoch investing...
