A wet piece of string is capable of receiving the signal. It can't do anything with it mind but its still capable

Dont you think that Free View is miss leading? as you still need a damn licence to watch it.
No, the point is your missing the point
BBC content whether live or on demand has to be paid for, if he's not paying £150/yr for it then majority of those that do think its reasonable enough value compared to for example Sky content or PPV have to pay proportionally more.
mot of that funding comes from selling it aboard though.
you can't watch live tv and not have a license.
obviously you can watch youtube and twitch live streams and ondemand content from iplayer etc
just get netflix or something

I simply don't pay the licence. That works for me.

If you have Android I recommend Swiftkey for your predictive text
Noooo. I look forward to see what Tefal's fat fingers/Dodgy predictive text, conjure up next.
I'm dyslexic and even I spot most of them
Have a look at NowTV. It has bbc iplayer, ch4, ch5, ITV on demand services and you can also subscribe on a monthly basis to sky entertainment, sky sport and sky movies. See the website as to what channels you get. They're on demand. We use that and an Amazon fire with prime subscription. Never run out of content to watch.
A very aptly timed article on the BBC about this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-31623659

I just use netflix and youtube it's more than enough for me. Also safe in the knowledge that you are not paying towards celebraties abusing children or ridiculously biased news reporting.
Now TV box with PLEX installed is all I need to stream anything on PC to telly and all for a one off payment of a tenner. I have to download all my films, tv etc... but it means I don't need a TV licence. Last time the fella from TV licence came I just showed him the box and he knew what it was. Actually the TV is watched 99% of the time for my grand-daughters cartoons, me and the missus rarely turn it on - she likes it for YOUTUBE vidoes occasionally.
Personally I think it wrong that the BBC have used the government to enforce licence payment for years and I'm staggered it still goes on. They need to get a different way to raise revenue like every other broadcaster.

Now they are going to change the TV license so that everyone has the tv license money stolen from their salary before they get it, as they know that people are moving away from traditional licensing required viewing and thus the BBC is on its way out. Typical that the BBC would find a way to make everyone pay for it when its time for it to die.

I wonder if you'll only be able to access iPlayer with a login which is linked to your TV license.
