It would be nice to pay for the channels and programmes you actually want. I object to paying for rubbish like EastEnders, for example. At least with the BBC you can get VOD for free and good things like the BBC News website.
My two cents worth.. the BBC should be a public service broadcaster first and foremost and not be in the business of relentlessly pursuing market share.

In my opinion the rules should be changed any person paying for a digital provider (not freeview) but virgin media, top up, sky should have a 50% reduction to BBC. Afterall you are already paying for programmes. This would be like an addon to the costs by the government and paid with your service.
No more licence would be required by any individual, the beeb would get some money and the rest would be to keep the government happy. Afterall the beeb already get advertising share from there digital channels. The get subscription subs for those part owned channels. Why should we pay twice for do what the government is asking us to do to free up analogue.
In time it should be completely faised out to all who pay a provider.
