Excellent - 'till I can persuade Natalie I guess I'll stick with tunein radio on my phone....

At the moment I've got LBC on a lot.

I also dropped from 60 to 30 Meg BB with no noticeable loss in anything (I'd never consider 30 meg as 3rd class personally, coming from an era when 3.3k/sec was regarded as 'good'...)

Did your monthly cost drop by much?

The RNIB website says
"You do not require a TV licence if you use a digital set-top box solely to listen to television programmes through a hi-fi or stereo system. The set top box must be incapable of recording and must not be connected to a device capable of showing images. "

So you don't need a special sound-only box. Any standard non-PVR will do.

By reducing the BB & the TV package it went from something like £90 to £65 or so
