no more tv tax please

*soapbox mode on*
I'm all for the pro choice option, plus it annoys me that the rest of the world get to watch BBC for free and we are paying for it.
I'm quite happy to have adverts myself, gives me time to do what needs to be done. Isn't it funny how there aren't any groups calling for ITV, Ch4 and Ch5 to stop all adverts and start charging a licence fee!!
At the very least, call a spade a spade and call it BBC licence!!
*soapbox mode off*
I may well be back though ;o)

They tried stinging me a few years ago because I had a TV in my living room... It didn't have an aerial, it was used solely for playing xbox games and watching DVD's... I got taken to court over it... And all charges were dropped. The Judge agreed with me that I shouldn't have to pay if I don't watch TV.
These days I'm too busy playing with my PC to watch any of the mindless drivel that gets shown on TV...
And come on, surely you find real life more interestiong than Eastwankers, Corronation Lane, or that one with all the scousers... Backside?

I cant watch the fing tv when we have a bit of rain, Ive got the freeview , but its not that fing free is it, if you want a better picture u have 2 pay out even more money for a booster, what a fucking con is this DIGITAL TV, I hope someone is reading all these comments, as Iam getting really pissed off

Also since we mainly only pay for the BBC, did you know when they create a website (i.e. for the olympics or whatver, they spend millions just to create a fancy temporary website. What has that got to do with TV?!

my flatmate got a letter saying that we have to pay our TV licence for the next year again. The annoying thing is that shows like Top Gear and Mock The Week (the only 2 BBC programs I watch at the moment) are always on Dave. What really takes the biscuit tho is that we've bought a Digital box, to get more channels etc but we can't even work that because digital won't be on in our area until 2010.
Screw the whole TV networking system, not just the BBC. The people in charge have royally screwed us over
