Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

There are lots of other options.

A subscription to Netflix or Amazon is about half that and you don't need a licence unless you want to watch programs as they are broadcast.

24 hour "entertainment" for 40p per day.

 

Even if you only find a couple of hours of that worthwhile it's still only 20p per hour.

 

What's wrong with that?

If everyone thought that it was worth the cost, they could move to a subscription model with no loss of revenue and save the enforcement costs and everyone would be happy.

Even when it was legal to watch i-player without a licence, I was watching less than 2 hours a week of BBC programming. Do the math on that basis and it ain't quite as convincing.

Currently, I dont use subcription streaming either but the change to the law in September means that I am forever lost to the BBC. I suspect that the same is also true for tens of thousands of students every year. Eventually nobody will be prepared to pay auntie's special little tax.

Not actually sure how the bbc could find out if you were watching if your dish wasnt bolted in full sight of the road?

Here is a question for you. If the BBC lose their charter to be funded by the TV Licence Fee what makes you think that that will mean that the Licence Fee will be abolished?

 

Be careful what you wish for. One of the things my two sprogs love to do when they come over to visit is to go to my mates house and watch some BBC (I don't have a TV). French TV is DIRE with very little original programming, adverts on every channel and they still pay something like a TV License. It's very hard to dodge the TV License it's part of their equivalent of our Council Tax.

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

You need a TV licence to watch/record any TV programmes, not just the BBC.

 

It's going up by £1.50. per annum, less than a halfpenny a day.

Yeah but that's going to drive them all into bankruptcy, my heart pumps purple custard for them, poor wee souls.
