Just to be clear, you are complaining about "choosing" to pay for a service which has so many channels and so much variety that you cannot watch all of them. I am complaining about "having" to pay for a service that I don't watch and don't want to have. I do not have an option not to pay or to unsubscribe.

Sarcasm escapes you does it ? I am not complaining(apart from some people's constant whining about paying for the BBC) ,you are complaining about having to pay for a universal channel free of subscription and free of advertising that you don't watch ,i was sarcastically using your own argument of "why should i pay for channels i don't watch against you . You should be able to understand that everybody ,regardless of TV ownership pays for commercial channels via the products they buy in the shops ,when was the last time you heard anyone complain about having to pay for ITV

I don't know why it hasn't be raised in the European Court of Human Rights by now (seriously). You argument makes sense for 50 years ago when there wasn't anything else available but now that technology has moved on there are a multitude of other services available at a better price and value. The law needs to be changed to reflect this. I half wish I did my degree in law now and I would take this up as a personal mission.

You do realise that most of Europe has a tv licence,quite often it is a surcharge on electricity bills or electrical goods
