I wish they would, nothing more than a tax...... and why do we have to pay for the web sites that are free to everyone else on the planet?

The bloated BBC should be slashed in size and have strict financial controls imposed on it by the Govt, it's a haven for grossly overpaid trough feeding bureaucrats and so called stars
Nah ... already got one. But we're usually both too "snookered"I bet your considering getting a colour TV soon eh?to be bothered with it.
Besides - for ME, at least - there's generally much more entertainment going on HERENah ... already got one. But we're usually both too "snookered"... than on ANY television channel!
More entertainment that the racing channels?

More entertainment that the racing channels?... well ... I mean we could always start laying odds
on which of our members will be next to get their visas ... and who will be fastest!
Why not abolish it and let Murdoch charge even more for Sky. He deserves it more than anybody as he has nothing
Why not, I'd happily pay £200 a month for my package, it'd cost me that to attend 1 race meeting

tv is great, get yourself a HD tv and sit back and relax, havent you watched sport in HD yet, me and my wife watch any sport in HD because it looks so good!
i think the bbc is great value for money and would pay more
i have learnt to do what my wife says!
I really begrudge paying a TV license, as I rarely watch it, mainly just watch the news & the odd programme.
My license has just run out & I'm really in two minds whether to renew it?
The sound is terrible & speech is all out of sync, since the digital switchover. I really can't bewith it...I just want to throw it out of the window.
I think we need to run another round of forum drug testingi think the bbc is great value for money and would pay more
That's not the TV, that's age related, your brain is out of sync

how are you getting the digital signal?, get yourself a humax box either freeview or freesat boxThe sound is terrible & speech is all out of sync, since the digital switchover. I really can't be
free night out on the bossI think we need to run another round of forum drug testing

Thanks for the vote of confidence.That's not the TV, that's age related, your brain is out of sync
I got given a box, otherwise I doubt I'd have bothered...it obviously dosen't work very well though?how are you getting the digital signal?, get yourself a humax box either freeview or freesat box
try resetting it and updating the firmware, maybe getting the aerial checked, are you sure its for digital freeview because if its cheap you will be surprised how a much difference a decent box can make

I think the BBC is great, much preferred watching the world cup on BBC to ITV. The first episode of Sherlock Holmes was good, not so sure about the 2nd. They do need good competition to keep them on their toes. F1 has improved, cricket has improved.

Would not like to pay more though as there is room for cost cutting such as the likes of the huge contracts they give to people like Jonathon Ross, foul mouthed and over rated, and they could cut what they pay for Wimbledon.
did you watch the winter olympics in HD and super slow-mo, HD on the bbc is far better than itv, even thou sky is even better but im watching with free sat.
chris evans is getting a big wedge now
i have learnt to do what my wife says!
Dont have HD yet,is it worth it? manage to get a deal with sky for full package at half price for 6 months, may have another go for their HD
never listen to BBC radio only LBC in the morning and Talksport from 1 am
Most of these sports, and others, are protected by law to appear only on terrestrial TV only, which is actually against European monopoly laws
Horse racing on the Beeb is now a joke in the racing world

It costs me whatever the fee is (£130!!!!) a year just to watch Dr Who, and that's it.... and the new series was pretty crap
rip-off

Yeah,but a lot of Brits watch BBC1/BBC2 documentaries and drama and sport coverage (worlds best) and listen live to hear BBC local and national radio stations either at home or work every day..
If you see the Yank dross that is aired by the cable and satellite channels here and across the world you would be begging the BBC to just accept a check!!
Fortunately,I can get family to send me BBC stuff on DVD.
I can still download podcasts from various sources for when I fancy a day off from going to the beach and BBQ`s etc..
Again..You dont miss it till your gone!!
