The Solution
The solution the TV content providers appear to have currently is to make the content so rubbish no-one would want to pirate it.
Personally they'd have to pay me to watch some of the Garbage.
1) Invest in better content
2) More Local TV companies will buy it (more profit)
3) Have a sensibly priced Netflix style service. (more profit)
4) Offer it at sensible prices on DVD & BD. BBC sets are mostly overpriced. (More Profit). Less than 1/2 people have suitable broadband for (3).
Then piracy will not matter.
