Hmm...

I pay NTL £28 a month for the "Family pack" to ensure that I get the channels I *do* want to watch.

I also, therefore, have to pay for a whole swathe of other channels which I get but *don't* want, but that are still receiving revenue from my subscription.

I would *love* to be able to get a discount because "I don't watch channels X, Y and Z" but that option isn't available.

Also all of those channels are stuffed full of adverts and sponsorships to cover their costs because they're not getting enough revenue, so if the BBC was turned into a subscription service they'd also have to either go for advertising themselves (which the other channels would *not* want since the advertising market is hard enough pressed as it is) or seriously cut down on their work as a public service broadcaster.

Frankly this just sounds like a "let's jump on the anti-BBC bandwagon" because they have, in their time, pi$$ed off governments of every hue and now, at last, they have the chance to get their revenge.
