I don't resent license fee, don't really notice it but if income was dropped I can afford the license but not all the other stuff that adds up.
And with insertion of ad's into catchup/OD what will people think then about ad free content from the BBC?

You do realise that you could have a streaming service for the cost of the licence fee, don't you, and you would get about £70 quid change!

We might be going round in circle with BBC threads. But worth pointing out it's £13 a month, for mostly unique quality content, plus all the extra non TV services. It compares very favourably with Sky/VM subs, who are mostly showing repeats/imported content or reruns of BBC stuff !

Maybe, but no-one is compelled to subscribe to Sky.
