Indeed they do, and if there was that much more I think ITV's ratings slide might not have been so steep.

As for paying monthly, don't you end up paying 18months worth in the first year? How's that fair?

I don't like it much, but then unlike most Direct Debits, this one was thought up by a civil servant. I guess they didn't want to risk losing a chunk of cash overnight if people who previously had paid £121 up front suddenly were only paying £10 a month and taking a year to hand over all the cash. Remember most Direct Debits are paid in advance of the service you recieve, like phone line rental or your DTV. Paying your TV licence by DD means you pay 6 months in advance and 6 months in arrears. Unfortunately in order to get there you have to pay an extra 6 months in the first year.
I'm not complaining tho' - I could well have done without the £116 bill I got the other week for my new licence so I was happy to switch to direct debit.
