That's going completely off topic. The BBC is a world renowned entity costing us only 40p a day and unlike Sky they don't acquire content previously free or other broadcasters' content and put it behind a paywall, they produce it and make it universally available regardless of the platform you're using to watch. Even with the many other channels available, the BBC channels are the most popular in most pay TV households and that speaks volume.

I have no qualms with paying this ''TV tax'' of 40p a day to support a great British institution we all should be proud of, it certainly is value for money.
