It is not undemocratic to impose something on everyone. Democracy is the rule of the majority, not the consensus of the whole. Therefore the majority is entitled to impose its will on the whole. The TV licence, as an Act of Parliament, is therefore quite democratic.

Hi, I'm starting up some new TV channels, Radio Stations and Web Sites and the government have agreed to add another £120 a year on to yours and everyone elses licence fee to subsidise me, hope that's ok with you, even if it isn't let's face it, you're not going to have a say in the matter.
