Havnt watched tv (or catchup) for years, so don't care.
Really dont understand why so many people still watch TV, just download/stream everything you want to watch.
The licencee fee is outdated, sure. But tea leafing content helps nobody and it is not the answer.
yet he's not said he downloads or streams pirated content - plenty of people watch amazon prime, netflix or buy digital content and his point still applies there

Let's not pretend.
We're talking about BBC content here, keep up.
So how do I catch up with the latest episode of, i don't know..Sherlock for example, if i'm not watching it on TV and im not using iPlayer?
Dowie, please, keep up or let him answer the question himself.I suggest you go back and read the posts you're referring to before telling others to 'keep up'
currently you do watch it on iplayer, in future you can't watch BBC content and will have to buy episodes via dvd/blue ray or digital download
then again there is plenty of other on demand content on netflix, amazon prime, nowTV
just checked - Sherlock Season 3 is available to watch on amazon prime
double post ..
Yes, you are completely missing the point. If it was a new season it wouldnt be. Is night manager available for example? no.
I've never understood why certain people get so angry about the TV license. I can understand why some people are against it but it's hardly the greatest injustice in this country ever.

If you dont use iplayer there is no other way of streaming new BBC content (TV) unless you are willing to wait for when/if it appears on another paid streaming service.
There no way, other than iPlayer, to legally watch BBC channels live online
There there is no other legal way i know of to listen to BBC radio channels bar other BBC websites.
So this:
Doesnt work. I know he said 'watch' but thew fee pays for radio, too, so..Do you get it yet?
The BBC remit goes beyond its channels and iPlayer. It provides functions that would still need doing, and paying for.
How the licence fee was spent in 2013/14
Between 1 April 2013 and 31 March 2014 the cost was £145.50 – the equivalent of £12.13 per month or just under 40p per day.
The BBC used its income from the licence fee to pay for its TV, radio and online services, plus other costs, as shown below.
TV: £8.00 per month per household. Total spend £2,276m (66%)
Radio: £2.30 per month per household. Total spend £650m (19%)
Online: £0.61 per month per household. Total spend £174m (5%)
Other costs: £1.82 per month per household. Total spend £357m (10%)
I'm not assuming he wants to watch BBC content, I'm the one who wants to watch BBC content.Again you're assuming he wants to watch BBC content and isn't talking about TV in general. You require a TV license to watch all broadcast TV yet you don't need one for on demand and he's pointed that out without making any reference to the BBC or to piracy - your arguments so far are based on assumptions rather than anything that has actually been stated.
Are they? (did you just assume that?)dowie said:your arguments so far are based on assumptions rather than anything that has actually been stated.

I use adblock on everything because of the sound/video adds.
Any tv shows i,m watching i download the episode online and watch when i want.
