Something About Tv Laws.
<div class="IPBDescription">and stuff like that.</div> Wondering if anyone can help me. This is regarding nudity on british tv. And more importantly what they can show.
About 2am (or something) i was watching a programme on Sky Digital, and it was quite, er, sexually explicit shall we say. And yes, i'm talking quite hardcore stuff here, no censorship or anything. (I think this is the cleanest way i can explain this). And this was on a channel that +ISN'T+ pay per view. Oh, and it was actually live.
What i'm wondering is, is this legal in the slightest. Can they show this kind of thing (regardless of time) on tv?

I'm not entirely familiar with these laws and it most likely differ from nation to nation but in my nation several channels avoid national laws against commercial directed for children or commercials for stronger liquor e.g. by broadcasting from your nation. So there might not be any laws about what's allowed to show but there might rather be laws against what can be broadcasted since televisions might be able to pick up transmissions from almost any satellite even if I'm sure that there are several limitations.
