I have a question. I think I read somewhere that they were phasing out analogue tv and in the near future (2010?) only digital tv will exist. That means that you either need to subscribe to Sky or Cable or something like that or you need to buy a digibox. Currently available via digibox you get the main uk channels which includes BBC. Therefore, I'm assuming that BBC get some sort of license from the makers of the digibox to be able to broadcast BBC. Would imagine that Sky also pay a subscription to BBC to be able to broadcast it.

So, my question is - when analogue is completely phased out and everyone has to buy digiboxes or subscribe to a digital service, will BBC still charge a license fee?
