The tv license is for the signal received in order to view the picture, so regardless of whether you are just watching ITV, Ch4, or Sky or just foreign programmes, it makes no difference, you are still receiving a signal. It is the Goverment that set the license fee, NOT the BBC.

It's really quite simple, if you don't like it & don't want to pay, switch the tv off & get rid, nobody forces you to watch it.

I suspect that if we didn't have a tv license fee, then the goverment would get us in some other way, maybe we wouldn't have the NHS?

Incidently, the lads & lasses in the 2 call centres (Bristol & Darwen) that answer your calls, do exactly just that - they answer calls, they have no say over what letters go out, or any control over Enquiry Officers, or methods of payment.
