    The TV Licence is not needed at all. The BBC are using the money to make program's and then sell most of them on to other channels like Dave etc and DVDs that the Licence Fee payer paid for which they are making even more money on. Because you pay for the content on the BBC you should be allowed to keep the program's for watch. Not purchase a DVD of TopGear for example when your money paid for it in the first place.

    • @karlbassett8485

      +A2892Z That would actually be illegal. There are very strict competition laws that forbid publicly funded services competing with commercial rivals in areas other than certain public services. Broadcast TV is a public service, almost every country in the world funds a national broadcaster with public money from either a TV licence or general taxation. But selling DVDs is not a public service. If the BBC started selling DVD box sets cheap or even giving them away how could ITV compete with their DVD box sets? They'd complain to the competition authority and the BBC would be prosecuted. The BBC is legally required to sell its content at a fair market value. The BBC even has a department of thirty staff whose sold job is to negotiate selling content to BBC Worldwide, a wholly owned BBC subsidiary! Their job is to make sure nothing is sold below market value because that would be illegal and would get the BBC sued. Other examples in the past include the BBC being forced to drastically cut its website because commercial rivals complained.

    Just to note you don't actually require a TV license to OWN a television. What the TV license actually does is just allow people to receive a live broadcast. As long as the TVs aren't plugged into the arial then you'll be fine. You can have 50 televisions in your house and you'll never need a television license.
    You can even watch BBC Iplayer and don't need one!

    Noel is right though
    Why should we pay for TV license.
    I personally never ever watch BBC because i dont watch TV, and i would only use my TV for my Xbox and what not. i moved into my new house and a month later i had someone here from the TV licensing company telling me that i had to pay it otherwise i would be fined £1000. Now that to me is intimidating, i paid it anyway, i then got a letter last week telling me that if i hadnt have paid it, i would be taken to court and fined £1000.

  • @EnglanderUK

    It isn't about the money, it's about the principle in how they ask for it, there is a difference between "The TV License makes the BBC great [good previews]" and "Give us your money or you'll face the consequences because WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE". Imagine if your car tax renewal came through and it said "You pay now or your car will get crushed"

    @Rekaert 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    To be clear, should anyone watch this and wonder: You can own a thousand TV's and not need a licence. Conversely, you can own zero TV's and be required to get one.
    Despite the name, the TV Licence has nothing to do whatsoever with owning a television.
    If you watch or record 'live' broadcast (BBC or not), stream live broadcast on any platform, or use BBC's iPlayer, you need a licence. If you're just using a TV to play games, watch DVD's, watch Netflix or other 'on-demand' services, you don't need one.

  • @karlbassett8485
    @karlbassett8485 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Funny how he ignored these 'threatening letters' when the BBC were paying him. The BBC, and the Post Office who collected the Radio and then TV licence before the BBC, have sent out these letters from the start in the 1920s, with the same threats, prosecutions etc. And as we found out later Edmonds was lying anyway. 'He' cancelled his licence. His wife, as he knew full well, started paying it instead. That's why they never chased him, his home had a licence all along.

    • @karlbassett8485
      @karlbassett8485 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +daro2096 He has a house in France but he also has a very nice and very well known house in Devon in the UK where he lives with his family, where his then wife had the licence in his name. For his house in France he will of course need a French TV licence. They require a licence for just owning a TV, whether you watch live TV or not, and they include it with their council tax so it is far harder to avoid. On the annual council tax form you are required to tick a box saying whether you have a TV or not, and you are legally required to answer and would perjure yourself if you lied. Maybe the UK should adopt that system?

  • @Codemanship
    @Codemanship 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    The license fee pays for independent public service broadcasting across all channels. ITV and C4 get a share, which pays for things like the news and science programming. It also pays for the digital TV switchover, training of thousands of TV and radio production staff, and a heap more that all UK broadcasters benefit from. Take it away and every channel turns into Sky One. But I guess you'd like that, wouldn't you? Certainly Noel's boss, Rupert Murdoch would.
