Hmmm - that would be every car owner in the country.

How much would it cost to issue each of these £10 licences? How much would end up in the pockets of the BBC once the bank charges, ee costs, database costs, post office fees, printing costs had been taken out £4?

Considering freeview boxes are now down to the price of a night out or a couple of takeaways (£40) I thing DTV take up will increase.

The BBC output has other benefits also. CBeebies / Childrens BBC means you can let you children watch cartoons without having adverts forced down their throats, similar to Disney channels at £5 a month - try watching milkshake (five) on a morning and the adverts for crap presents are astounding.
