Oh I'm from the UK as well, TV Licensing also pays for digital stations you have to pay for seperately, despite paying for them to be made, TV channels that few people who pay the fee can actually watch which have been known to have viewing figures as small as<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... three, and radio stations that you pay for, that people without a license can listen to for free. BBC does have adverts, but only for its other channels (although I do concede its nice to not get interuppted by adverts, just not at that price). The Licensing people are incredibly unethical. How many companies could afford to threaten you in to paying? How many companies try to get entry in to peoples homes who don't even have licenses. It was introduced to make it so people with less money could watch, now its a stealth tax and nothing more.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... and last, but most certainly not least of course. When I want to watch channels that are ad-paid for, why on earth do I need a TV License (I know technically you don't, but try telling the TV License people that!)

I would be happy to pay for BBC1, BBC2 and BBC News though, certainly not through licensing scheme to watch TV though, which I see in much the same vein as extrodinary and technically illegal EULA's software licenses.

(Sorry for the rant!)
