Can't come soon enough. We've not paid the BBC tax for the last 15 years. We don't watch the BBC either because most of it is complete crap.
Mind you that applies to most broadcast TV across the board but at least you're not forced to pay for the rest of the crap.

You are, you would still need a TV licence.

If you don't watch TV, why are you forced to pay it?

Define “TV”?
My eldest watches, almost exclusively, you tube. He watches it on his iPod, iPad, and Mac. But just because he may also watch it on a television, that attracts a fee whereas the other mediums don’t?
It’s farcical and needs review to make it fit for the future.
I’m not saying that I wouldn’t pay for BBC content, but how, why and what you pay for should be reviewed and non-payment should absolutely not result in criminal proceedings. Non-payment should just mean no access to BBC content as with all other providers.

That wouldn't attract a fee. The licence is to cover watching/recording live TV as it is broadcast.
