[QUOTE="Lazarus, post: 848412, member: 323322"] No, but the Licence is to permit operation of relevant equipment. The destination of the revenue is a separate matter. So that £12.12 per month permits viewing of far more than just the output of the BBC. Even if one chooses not to watch BBC Channels, a Licence is still required - and regardless of whether what one does actually watch attracts a premium by way of further Subscription. It's a well-worn path, with some aspects in common with VED/Car Tax (whatever one chooses to call it: Some refer to it as Road Fund Licence), whereby it suits some to retain the idea that paying for your Car Tax Disc gives entitlements to use of the Highway over and above those users who are not obliged to have a Disc. Some of the Debates (Chiefly using specious arguments) that I've witnessed on both these matters extend to what seems like an infinite number of Posts! [/QUOTE]
