Anyway my point is i should have a choice and not be forced to pay because i own a TV. If i only watch SKY sports for instance and none of the BBC's products why should i have to pay a tax to the BBC when they had no input in the making of Sky's sports programs ???

Same reason you’re forced to pay for services you don’t use via your council tax. Parliament has ruled that the BBC services, provided in the way that they are, are useful and desirable to the national life.
You may choose to use a private school or a private health club but you still pay council tax, which funds the local leisure centre and the local school.
