Hmm, you raise an interesting point. "If you don't want cable you don't pay for it."

What is cable? Cable is a means of distribution, just as Satelite is. Both require maintainance and support, as do the numerous broadcast transmitters that send the terrestrial signals around this country in such high quality. Who should pay for those? The users of those signals, or everybody? Part of your licence fee goes to pay for the transmission of all the terrestrial signals, ITV C4 five, and all the DTT broadcasts also.

You buy road tax to use the roads, why not TV tax to pick up the VHF broadcasts?
