People whinge about these things and yet continue to use the service. I believe in boycotting things I disagree with.

you can be a goon at times blazey lol
you cant choose what your tv recieves , if it is capable of recieving any tv signal you have to pay a TV licence regardless if you watch bbc channels or not
ps:
the bbc a couple of years ago asked teh goverment to introduce an internet licence and believe me they wont have given up and that is why they brought in the iplayer so they can go back to teh govenment and say look we provide programs via teh internet now as well so can we please now charge an internet licence on top of what people alreay pay for tehir service wether or not they look at the bbc webistes or not
this is why the licence fee is against demoracey and freedom of choice, you pay for it wether you use it or not and face prison for not paying for somthing you dont watch
if they made tvs that were programed not to recieve bbc channels therefore givingteh customer a choice then that would be fair
i have 3 tvs in my house but i dont have to have a tv licence because i proved that i ha dno means to recieve a signal by having no ariel and no sky dish etc , i told them i used teh tvs for dvds and my xbox only and when they came to check it was all in order so i dont pay a licence
i do however get all my tv shows from america and off teh internet which is non of teh bbc's buisness so screw em lol
