It's licence, not license. One is a noun, the other a verb.

Yeah it often stops after a minute then loads and plays again but at a reduced resolution. Happens if I watch a few videos in a row. Eventually settles again if I leave it a few hours.
That's also what I had
The broadband suppliers can moan all they like it would be incredibly straight forward for the government to transfer the current TV license to a small tax on everyone's broadband bills, EE and the like would soon go quiet and accept it as a simple part of doing business in the broadband market. I'm not saying the government will or even should do this but those pretending it would be difficult are just like dogs barking at the moon, it gives them something to do but achieves nothing!
I find it quite funny in this thread how many posters seem to believe it is the BBC driving the conversation about licensing when in fact it is the government going through the regular process of charter renewal, the BBC doesn't get to decide how it is funded that is a decision for you elected representative so make sure you are moaning at them if you are so incensed about the proposals being discussed. That and the continual moaning that one of the most impartial broadcasters in the world it full of 'lies' and 'propgada' make this debate quite laughable.
BBC heads must have influence.
But at end of the day government have to make the TV licence basically a tax. Because otherwise it'll die and they won't let it happen.
It'll be borderline a tax. I will certainly consider mobile Internet if it goes onto land line. I'd rather not pay 150+ extra a year.

Great post really well thought out, name all the less biased media sources out there should be really easy if the bbc are as dodgy as you imply (hint they really aren’t)
The BBC makes inputs to the decision, which you would expect as they need to ask for what they want and need and explain how they see the broadcaster developing to meet it’s mandate as a public service broadcaster. The decisions are entirely made by the government who will take advice and recommendations from many sources before deciding what to do.
If they put it as a tax on broadband it could be significantly reduced so it wouldn’t be £150. There are two reasons for this firstly the committee looking at the charter renewal have said it needs to be less and secondly if it was a tax accross all broadband connections there would be more people paying so it wouldn’t be spread further.
Well, apart from all the sex offenders and peados they hid.
Also "BBC verify" which conveniently ignores the BBC's own mistakes and miss-reporting (like that Hamas propaganda piece they ran, framed as something else. Then the edited Trump speech).

So still no less biased media sources just a bit of what-about-ism….great work.
There is loads of research out there that will show you the BBC is one of the most trusted news sources in the world but you don’t want to hear that because it doesn’t suit your agenda.
Who funded that "research", the BBC? lol
The BBC being lead on "fighting" fake news is a bit scary tbh

Once again a load of guff, try starting with tapestry who have regularly found the BBC to be among the most trusted news sources in the world. Why don’t find it so hard to believe? Have you got a few examples of obviously biased/fake news articles on the bbc there must be thousands if they are as bad as you say?
Once again if the BBC is so much fake news point to a few better sources of impartial
News in the UK? BBC output often has a slight lean to the government of the day (who doesn’t lean towards the controller of the purse strings?) but beyond that annoys the left and the right pretty much equally commit sit roughly in the middle.
I fixed this. Settings ---> Morphe ---> miscellaneous ---> default client ---> android VR.
It'll ask you to sign in again, do it.
Worked for me. That issue was driving me nuts for months.
See above.
Remind me if you will, just how many people of late refuse to pay the license tax?
Whilst you're there, please explain to us good folk exactly why so many are deserting our once great national broadcaster in droves?
I'll give you a clue, not everyone shares the same extreme hard far left views as the BBC does, and guess what, they've gone and they won't be coming back.
You can fan girl and fawn all over the beeb, but it's a dead man walking, and you, I, and every living being on the planet knows it.
That used to work for Revanced but not anymore tried selecting different clients but same issue happens again. There there was a fallout with the devs and most of them abandoned it
I did it on Morphe and it's fixxored everything for me, works just like the good ol' days of Revanced again.
occams razer ? maybe because people are short of money, similar to increased segment of netflix viewers signing up for add-tier ?
if the BBC were profit making though , would they surpass Itv who surpass netflix (maybe netflix juggle their worldwide books - like Amazon)
I’ll start by saying I’m not a huge BBC fan I would just like to see an honest debate without the emotive unsubstantiated waffle that contaminates this thread.
Back to your ridiculous comment, I’m not entirely sure what ‘extreme hard far left’ actually means, I suspect you will struggle to define it yourself! However for the sake of this silliness let’s say far left would need to be a lot further left of say the current UK Labour Party (defined as a centre left party) and veering heavily into some form of communism which I don’t think is an ideology I’ve seen pushed by any UK media let alone the BBC in a significant way.
Maybe your argument will make more sense if you define ‘extreme hard far left’ and maybe link to some examples of recent stories on the BBC heavily pushing this ideology in an unbalanced way. Again if it is is bad as you imply this should be easy.
I won’t bother holding my breath …..
The bbc is such poor value at the moment. BBC breakfast you have to endure Naga first thing in the morning. Then they have some awful breakfast programme on for an hour that is just garbage. The 3 old women are on next with the most obvious scams that you are supposed to feel sorry for the thick as mince victims. Homes under the hammer (no-one makes a loss ever) bargain hunt…. BBC news at 1 then home in the countryside. This is the schedule 5 days a week. Strictly they somehow drag out for over 2 hours lol and another 50 mins on a Sunday. Traitors they are milking dry as the only original concept in about 15 years. A few failed attempts at bbc dramas with pi** poor acting. Newsnight / politics show on infinite repeat throughout the week with just parroting whatever was said during the news that day.
Can you tell I was stuck in the hospital for 3 months with one working channel?
