So what you are actually arguing about is abolishing PSB's in the uk not how the BBC is funded .The whole point of the BBC is that it is a public service not a commercial enterprise .

If your arguing that the subscription would be higher than the licence fee, then the only ones to suffer from the fall in revenue and subscriber numbers would be the BBC,

I think that the BBC would take customers from Sky/Virgin there is a finite amount of money available for subscriptions and suddenly introducing an already well established and popular broadcaster into the subscription market will be very detrimental to the existing companies,as would allowing the BBC to advertise .

who would be forced to either make more popular programmes or reduce the subscription cost to a more palatable level.

What make you think that the BBC produce unpopular programs ? you may not like a particular program but that doesn't mean the BBC is producing unpopular programs

You Sir, in every discussion you get into appear to dismiss everyone else with a conflicting view as being wrong and that your view is right. I have only met one other person who acts exactly the same, and this is because he suffers from a serious case of Autism/aspergers.

Of course it is ,you are entitled to your opinion just as much as i am entitled to disagree with your opinion.
I couldn't give a rats ass if you don't allow TVL into your home to prove that you do or do not require a licence but
in my opinion it is a ridiculous stance to take and can only cause you or anyone who adopts that approach problems.
and yes i believe my opinion to be correct just as you believe your opinion to be correct
