The problem lies is the way the beeb treat the licence as bottomless pit. I would think it not far down the line the average tv monthly bill will be £200. The result many will pushed out from enjoying watching tv. When Tv first came out only the rich could afford such luxuries. Its getting to a point it will once again be a rich mans toy.
Its in the beebs best interest long term to accept licence fee is bordering to point people cannot afford it.

Nobody's saying that you should be go back to something that 'infuriated' you. What I'm saying is that you shouldn't complain about a system that you have chosen to 'buy into' - if you don't want to pay over and above the licence fee for TV, you don't have to. Anyway, as has been repeated
ad nauseum, the licence fee also pays for the radio and internet services (amongst others), so it's not actually a massive fee when you take it all into account...
