Parliament has no power during the transition??

That would be something... Does your country have something like "calling the state of emergency" which gives extra powers to the PM? Like Trump did to get his wall? Could he invoke that?
A theory that flies around here is tha BJ does not want a Brexit at all. He is manouvering into a position where he can not possible get the fiat of parliament and the Eu won't bend. So in the end he has no other option than call the whole thing off and he can blame Parliament AND the EU and say "they left me no other choice".
Not my theory, I think it is too far fetched, but it is an interesting thought.

Yes, the BBC is on the satellite. But I am not willing to make the investment in a satellite dish just for the BBC. The problem will probably be temporary anyway. It "just" needs new licence negotiations between the parties concerned. That may take a few weeks. Or decades... ;-)

The aticle was probably written by a non native English speaker.
