Cable Forum - View Single Post - BBC licence fee to be reviewed by Conservatives

How will they lock out all the older sets? If you've paid for a TV and watch BBC but it just has a basic Digital receiver. Or sets in places without good internet but fine aerial.

I would still maintain the license fee is good value and pays for more than simple TV. And the benefit of no ads makes it worth while.

Oh, and rich pensioners have been paying for years so why charge them more?

The fact that the BBC is irritating those in power shows that it is working. That should apply to irritating (challenging) anyone with power. If things go too far to private companies holding all the reigns who will challenge/mock them?
