Then the answer is yes. Because, if my answer were any different, I would be a hypocrite to pay for schools if I didn't have children, or the NHS when I don't use them much at all, or any local council service that I don't use at all.

(BTW Being long-term un-employed I don't actually pay Taxes of course. But if did, the above would be true.)

There are many things we have to pay for for the good of the nation as a whole. A national broadcaster free from commercial pressures is just one of them.

Spoiler: 
Now then. I wonder who will be the first to again accuse me of equating the NHS with the BBC which, of course, would be to completely miss the point!
