If we all stream everything thing it will buffer a lot more.

Terrestrial is here for a few decades yet .
It should improve before long, Mr K. Digital TV suffered freezing and buffering quite a lot in the early days, but look at it now.

Well, stuttering, then, if I used the wrong technical term. Yes, we had a lot of that, as did our friends who had cable. One or two went back to analogue because they were so frustrated by it.

I only watch Rugby League which is broadcasted by SKY. Why should the BBC get a payment for a channel they do not own, have no involvement with at all simply because i choice to watch SKY ?.

Cable didn’t go digital in my area until I think it was the early 2000’s.

Later than that, OB. Iirc, it was progressive between 2009 and 2013. You'll probably remember the Cisco STBs of the time.

Nice to see that the new Culture Secretary wants the BBC licence fee abolished. I hope she gets on with it.

“Speaking in 2019, she said: “Personally I think the licence fee is an unfair tax and should be scrapped all together but that is a different debate.””

Not saying she’s likely to have changed her mind, but context is important. Personal views expressed a few years ago don’t translate immediately into policy proposals. Sometimes they don’t translate at all, because some things are too big for one minister to change by fiat.

Should have been scrapped years ago. Corrupted organisation.

Soon they'll be hammering on your front door. BTW They like to wear hi-viz to try and look "official"

You are under no obligation to open your door and certainly no obligation to let them in. They have NO right of entry, whatever they might like to imply.

As for TV detectors: That's gawping in your window or listening through the letterbox.:D
