You're gonna have to explain that one to me, 'cos it's scrambling my brains at the moment.

BSX wasn't shut down because of screencaps and it wasn't shut down because of the availability of screencaps either. The authorities would have come to their views on the channel by asking for recordings and then going through hours and hours of the supplied footage to verify that the material was too strong for the UK market.

So who are these authorities you are talking about that asked for recordings and went through hours and hours of footage to verify that the material was to strong for TV ?, Ofcom have stated the Dutch BS channels are out of their jurisdiction and remit, as Ofcom have said they pass on any complaints they may receive to NICAM to deal with, so are you saying the Dutch regulator is the one that's done this ?.
Any time Ofcom investigate and ask for recordings etc it has to be published in their broadcast bulletins, nothing has been mentioned about BSX in any Ofcom statements/bulletins .

{edit} People do realise that for the authorities to launch investigations, request recordings and then shut down channels etc, that it is a long processes involving Solicitors and channel representatives etc, every thing has to be transparent and made public when they do this, authorities that shut down channels have to make sure they do things in the correct way and do not breach any UK/European laws themselves by doing so. So if it was the authorities that shut down BSX with only a few hours notice as assumed by some people and not BSX themselves just axing the channel why was nothing published by any authority ? .
