The BBC is a tyrannical bunch of self lathering t@ats. All day in-between programs they advertise BBC quality. IF you start to believe them you are in trouble. They tell you you'll miss out on excellent BBC programs such as DR.WHO or Top Gear. But if You need to see this twaddle you could just buy the box sets and make a saving.
ten percent of court cases are non payment of license fees. They make criminals out of people that do not agree with them. If you don't want to finance us(the BBC) we fine you or jail you.
For pro propaganda BBC fans - Make it a subscription - £180 - the BBC loves you. Your cash anyway.

Yes, they should go back to when the licence fee was collected by HMRC, the boys with the power to MAKE you pay. Instead the government ducked their responsibility and gave the job to a broadcasting company without the authority to carry out the job.
Consequently they have to take non-payers to court. But, regardless of how you wish to fund the BBC...you will still require, by law, a licence to receive transmissions any signal within certain frequency ranges, whether it be by aerial, satellite or cable. |

You don't need a license to receive any transmission that isn't live.

Surely, ALL transmissions are 'live'! The licence is to allow the residence to RECEIVE transmissions of any sort, by any method.
Repeat programmes are still live transmissions. ie being transmitted at this time. THAT, by the way, is just my take on things and may very well be wrong. |

Well I don't know what the correct term is, but if you watch/receive/intercept? programmes live, you need a license. If you watch them on an Iplayer-type thing after the transmission time, you don't. More or less everything the BBC show, with the exception of a few things, like certain films, is available after the broadcast and it is legal to watch them.
Repeats, as in they are repeating it now live, need a license for you to watch. |

You will STILL have to pay for your licence to receive broadcasts! That's not going to go away even if the BBC ceased to exist. You have to licence your reception equipment.

I'm all for a licence fee but a max of £100. Which means slashing all the crap out and concentrating on quality. No more "me too" programmes that can be made elsewhere. Careful what you wish for.

But, of course, we aren't IN 'other countries'. It5 will help towards the deficit. We are used to paying it, so why bother reducing it? We won't miss it! (tory quote).
Obviously, a made up 'tory quote'...before anybody accuses me of lying.   |

By:
The Tories could still get the bbc to collect the fee, then take 3 billion off the bbc to pay towards more deserving causes, like the police ,fire service, and the armed forces.
|

By:
No. Becau7se3 the BBC can't collect the money. That would only work if they sere given the same powers as the other tax collection departments.
Then there would be no 'May we come in, sir?' No valid licence would see the destruction of all illegal reception equipment. YIPPEE! |

Odd response do work for the bbc, or do you take some sort of perverted pleasure out of forcing people to pay for an unjust unnecessary tax? A tax that some of most poor people in Britain struggle to pay. |
