No TV Licence

[mjr]

If you wanty to still say they aren't part of the same "Family", fine. But I suspect most people will think they are.

Because they use BBC for playout, in the way other channels use Arqiva (or did until they stopped) or Ericsson/Red Bee? Pull the other one! Most people neither know nor care which playout service each channel uses. Well, until it goes offline https://www.tvbeurope.com/media-man...-bees-broadcast-centre-takes-channels-off-air

I see the serial pervert employers BBC have mooted the return of a llicence for listenjng to the BBC on the radio.

Theyve clearly forgotten that the old radio licence (yes, there was such a thing!) was abolished in the early 70s because so few people were paying it the whole shebang became unenforceable.

Ditto extending the licence to cover viewing Netflix.

They just need to accept that im not paying it snd never will, and neither will millions of other deliberate non payers, so they need to come up with something else rather than flogging the same dwad horse harder and harder in the hope it suddenly springs back to life.

I had my monthly threatening letter last week, they just go straight in the bin now, the joy of seeing where they are up to with my investigation has gone.

Will you be in on...blah blah blah

I don't have a radio

I do, but the BBC medium wave transmitter in my town is expected to be turned off next year, the supposed fm equivalent doesn't really cover us and DAB radios are still too expensive to replace all my radios, so I suspect I'll mostly be listening to radio on my phone by streaming from the TV set top box to the speakers in whatever room I'm in. And less of it will be BBC because there's so much more choice on satellite than analogue. ORF, BR & Radio France are all good.
