And yes the licence should rise in line with inflation.Of course the BBC must make sure they extract every last penny of value from what they do receive before a rise is awarded.

I agree with both of these. A fairly small proportion of my overall viewing comes from the BBC, but I still think that we need a broadcaster with high production values that produces a wide range of programmes, not just the ones that attract popularist viewing.
The BBC leads the way in online services such as iPlayer, and that requires funding. I say that even though I rarely use catch up services.
