I am one of those addresses that does not have a TV licence. I do not have a TV. Haven't had one for 10 years.
You can imagine the incredulity I face when I deal with the repeated threating letters I get.
Been threatened umpteen times with a home visit, even though I repeatedly told them I would be delighted to have someone drop round to check.
The one and only time someone came to my door, they didn't even attempt to gain entry, merely popped yet another threatening letter through my letter box.

High time the BBC was forced to either abolish the licence fee or go subscription only. The latter option will never happen, of course, cos how many would pay to watch the c_rap they produce?

Has anyone noticed the amount of product placement there is on the BBC nowadays, we are basically paying through the nose for another commercial channel.

The licence payers should not be paying for all these BBC quiz games that pay out prize money. I like watching The Weakest Link but programmes like this should be sponsored.

I got rid of a tv many years ago and I would never have one in the house again. That, however has not stopped the harassment by mail with claims that I am using a reciever illegally, I've got more to do with my time than waste my life watching a box. I don't see why in this day and age people should be held to ransom by one company demanding a payment from a viewer for the privellage to look at any other programme other than that of bbc. they should do as other companies do and advertise. A bit of work from their staff could make or break the company

You all complain about the excellent BBC, what's the alternative: Natz Broadcasting Crap (NBC)?
F*ckin crap. We should be paying more for the BBC, it's the best in the world, what do you tune into first in hotel rooms when abroad? Yes, the excellent BBC World, so quit complaining.

As I understand it, the license is to receive any tv channels,'tho the BBC take all the money,I think I read that ITV were asking for a share of the license fees.

Why do we need this can't the BBC not get money of Virgin or Sky. Oh by the way the BBC co owns the UKTV channels etc UKTVgold and DAVE with Virgin Media. And these channels have adverts.
