eastender is poo i wonder how much tax payer money is wasted on that crap Rolling Eyes

Don't watch it anyway (Eastenders that it) soooooooooooooo depressing - suffer from that anyway don't need any more.

Do occasionally get something on TV worth watching but probably not worth the £140.00 Sad

Well, a lot of licence-payers' money I have no doubt Steve.

But as things are at the moment, if we want a station that doesn't carry advertisements then it has to be paid for somehow.

Having said that, we have no choice in the matter if we want a telly service at all. And the BBC does earn revenue from productions that it sells abroad.

What I hate is having to shell out of £50 a month to Virgin or Sky if we want access to more than just the terrestrial channels (and my son, bless his cotton socks, does).

without virgin i think i would have a break down normal tv is just repeat after repeat... with sky or virgin i can watch the cooking channel or watch an movie that not been repeated 5 times in an month

I very rarely watch tv, tbh. But yes, the licence fee is way too high because they don't actually make decent programmes with it!

I always find something pants to watch and can't afford Sky/Virgin Smile

by Guest Mon Nov 04 2013, 21:02

I tried not paying... it didnt work out. Some tart posted a "were watching you" notice though my door and then took me to court. Pees me off as I hardley ever watch bbc and only ever stuff I pay for on virgin...

by Guest Mon Nov 04 2013, 22:29

I actually didn't have a tv for near on 2 years once! So no I wasn't going to pay for it Big Grin

It is a rip off but 2 unpaid licences = £995 fine as I discovered this week from a Polish family who only ever watch Polish satellite channels

by **Sazzle** Mon Nov 04 2013, 23:53

Its not fair we have to pay for a channel we might never watch Straight Face

I'd happily opt out!

I don't have a tv.
If there's something I really need to watch, I pounce on unsuspecting mates.
Otherwise, there's no point as it's all pretty *.
I do have a projector screen and projector though for BluRays - that's good.
