Not quite. We'd end up paying both the cable providers fee and the regular tv licence as well.

No. You end up paying for cable and that is it. Why would you have to pay for a license fee if they are on cable? By them being on cable you just proved you don't watch them thus you don't have to pay the licenese fee at all. Better yet, they can be like HBO. A premium channel.

The advertisments pay for our TV over here but I am buying gatoraid, mountain dew, mcdonalds and stuff anyways. I buy the stuff I am going to buy anyways. I would rather a company spend $2 million dollars on a 30 second ad during the super bowl to fund TV for the next year than have 300 million people pay ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, MTV, A&E, AMC, TNT, TBS, USA, TNN, CN, NICK, CNN, MSN and the list goes on all $250 to watch their channel for a year. smurf THAT.

What. Get a loan/grant, you can bloody well afford one.

Not that there's any grounds for MAKING you, of course, it's BS, but yeah, it's not that much.

I bet there will be a statement contradicting what you just posted ... if it can be schemed (sp?) up ... Wow i feel so sorry for you guys ... it makes me not want to goto UK and watch T.V.

Crap like this i'm sure will get worse and worse ... its a trend i've been notice'n so 10 years from now we can all look back and say wow that was sooo pathetic compaired to these mandatory trackin' devices bein' implanted and the random night sodomy ... was such a simpler time >.<

Ho Hum

The trouble is you still get the BBC channels in most of the packages you can get here as far as I know (but I may be terribly wrong, I've never looked into cable that much), plus you'd still be watching it on a TV capable of recieving the terrestrial signal. Auntie will still want to drain your pockets dry.

Quite right. If you can receive the channels in any way, shape or form, you have to pay the license. It doesn't matter if you have a television, personal computer, cable, satellite, etc - they will find a way to make you pay. Even if you claim to use your television only for computer games and DVD movies, they will try their hardest to find a way to prove you wrong and steal your hard earned cash, even if you genuinely don't watch those pathetic BBC channels.
