			It doesn't work on some of the older boxes - but does on the majority.

 Disney+ as good as it is does not give one the breath of content that the BBC does and never will do in a month of Sunday's.
 |  True, because it has a specific focus. That doesn't excuse the BBC, who provide a biased news focus, negative and sensationalist documentaries and too many schedule-fillers like 'Homes Under the Hammer' which could just as easily appear on commercial channels.
 
Not only that, we have to pay through the nose for all of this whether we want to use it or not.
 
Fortunately, the government have reacted to the public anger and the election coverage and will now look at ways to rid us of the licence fee so we only pay if we use it. Good. That will at least make them more accountable to their viewers.

			Biased??? 
So Labour think the BBC is biased on behalf of the Tories, and the Tories think the BBC is biased on behalf of Labour - not sure how both of these statements can be true?
 
I think, in some peoples' world, "biased" means not totally supporting what they support, and daring to question actions by those whom they support...
 
fyi, that's not bias.
 
There is no "public anger", just sound and fury by some people amplified by those who would benefit from the BBC being abolished - Boris Johnson disagrees with Dominic Cummings over plans to scrap the BBC licence fee and wants reform rather than revolution'.
