Read your TV Licence It doesn't mention the BBC anywhere.

The rest of your statement is moot as it is completely un-provable.

All of this content – and the television channels, radio stations and online spaces where audiences can find it – is paid for by the licence fee, allowing BBC's UK services to remain free of advertisements and independent of shareholder and political interest.

Put more simply if a device is capable of receiving 1 channel it will be capable of receiving all of them unless they are encrypted.

Which is what the BBC should be told to do, that way they will need to produce good television or close, at the moment they produce some good and lots of crap and then just hold the hat out and say "please sir give me some more"
