Maybe not, but it's all my Gran had to do when she was at home alone for 80% of the day, what do you propose less abled OAPs do with their day? She read the paper each day, but that didn't take too long. She didn't have the mobility to go out walking around the local parks and would be tired out by the time she got up the hill from the shops.Having access to television is not a necessity, I don't think the government should be paying for it.
I have been debating stopping paying for a few years.
I myself dont watch TV. The only person who does, is my wife, and she only ever watches Emmerdale or Corrie last thing at night when she gets the time to sit down, and both of those are not BBC and both of those are not LIVE.
We genuinnely dont need a TV Licence, and the ONLY reason why I have kept on paying it
How are you watching it then? Recording it then watching later? If so, that still counts as requiring a licence.
