What gets me about the licence though is that you can only get BBC3 & 4 if you have Sky or cable or if you pay extra for one of those digi boxes. But you would still have to pay the same licence fee if you didn't have one of those extras.

I think the BBC should run adverts like every other station. There is no way that you can convince me that they are simply a public service any more. They wouldn't go bust as they make money from overseas sales, merchandising and even selling programmes to channels like Living, etc.

Bring on adverts and scrap the licence is my opinion.
