As I said, you misunderstand. The Conservatives have long been sympathetic to the replacement of the licence fee with a subscription method. As long as this preference continues, then it will end up as legislation and the Beeb will be obliged to cease having the licence fee available to fund their operations.
That is my premise. If anything changes, then clearly that would alter my prediction.
So pray tell me, if the government decides to go for the licence fee being abolished in favour of a subscription, how exactly is broadcasting from transmitters remotely possible?
That is your challenge, jfman. It’s not about personal preference or what you believe people want, it’s about practicalities.
My prediction is based on what I think will happen, not what I prefer will happen. Personally, as long as everything I want to watch is available to access without having to sit through adverts, I am happy. Others can do as they please.
But everything I predicted in 2015 is coming to pass. Nothing has happened that seriously challenges that prediction. And it’s still only 2022.

Well if you’ve got Virgin Media the TV service won’t necessarily go with the broadband. Any streamers you watch obviously will.

I’ve never had problems with streamers either. Any more ‘problems’ you want to invent?
