I don't mind paying for the TV licence, but I strongly object to the way it is enforced - people without TVs are routinely harrassed and sent misleading, threatening letters demanding they pay; they don't seem to acknowledge that some people might not have a TV.
And I got the threatening letters even though I _did_ have a licence.

We also get outstanding TV shows such as Life on Mars, Walking With Dinosaurs, Little Britain, Dr Who, and imports like Band of Brothers, and Heroes coming soon. All of that advert free. You cant argue with it. How much would all that cost if you were to get it from Sky? It would be a damn site more that £11/month.

The issue isn't whether it's good value or not, the issue is whether everyone with a TV should have to pay, whether they watch it or not.
