Looking for this post
It is but it’s basically a necessity if you want to watch some live TV. Steaming services are good but they are not the be all and end all of media.
The BBC also puts out some fantastic ad-free content across all its platforms, be that TV, radio or it’s website which is why I don’t begrudge paying for it.
Cheers, might have to go on a short visit to turkeyYes it does. You will get up to the end of contract going through Sky and then it will revert back to your original payment method on your account with Netflix.

Since when does BBC cost more than netflix....I totally disagree with TV licensing being banded into CT.
The sheer amount of cash waste of expensive celebs, excessive low quality trash etc should not be forced. Especially with costs like today.
But I see it comimg. BBC is a dinosaur that needs to die or be a tax. I'd rather it die.
It had its place. But like blockbuster it's time to go.
I would reluctantly accept a cut down "news only" service on radio/Web but not a tax to pay for entertainment. Because entertainment it is not.
Entertainment is down to taste. And should not be propped up by tax. If it isn't commercially viable its time to die.
It costs more than netflix. It's more than any streaming service. And it's just not worth it.

Free stuff is always welcome!It was much better when it was NOW TV vouchers. I watched the entire 20/21 season and select F1 races for free just using my clubcard points on day/month passes. You get Disney plus free with everything these days. I got 6 months free with a £10 a month O2 contract.
Since maths
159 a year for BBC
11 a month for netflix (standard)
11ppm*12 months=132 a year
Plus sign up using a VPN and Netflix standard is only £3 a month.
Good value that. Can probably bin netflix for 6 months and watch everything we want on Disney for 6.

Maybe the BBC could make some additional money by allowing ads on entertainment shows only. Keep the news programmes and wildlife documentaries ad free and paid for by the license, and allow ads on sports and entertainment shows.
the BBC is just a part of the TV licence as the TV licence allows you to watch "Live" TV as well.
Is this a relic of the transmission infrastructure or something? Like that part of the license fee used to (or maybe still does) go towards the transmission towers?
