Monies generated by road tax licences goes to the upkeep of the roads whereas the licence fee funds the BBC's programs. If the TV licence fee in someway maintained the transmission equipment that my TV utilised then it would be comparable but it doesn't. You could argue it did that very thing years ago but times have changed.
Well, taking this into account, surely you're paying twice for the roads then, seeing as Council Tax goes towards the roads as well

I think there going to be huge issue with this as the big switch off nears.
But there's already a huge incentive to go digital - if you don't, you won't have access to TV after the analogue switch-off...
