Now when you also pay for tv via a provider you are then paying twice. As most content ends up on retro channels like uk gold in some ways you proportionally pay a small fee for them made too. The beeb end up get a small proportion of subscriber fees and any advertising revenue to subliment the lisence. You also wonder how much the beeb got out of freeview box sales and impending freesat.
You realise for doing what the government requested you are not getting an incentive. Its about time we got a significant reduction to the licence.

You 'pay twice' because you have
chosen to get digital television - I know that I bang on about this every time this comes up but, if you feel that you shouldn't have to pay additional costs for the TV you watch, just stick with terrestrial TV
