How long before a PVR with the ease of Sky+ (Adult Friendly) turns up.

You do not pay the licence fee if you have no TV. IMHO it presents fantastic value: all the BBC channels (which by far have the best programming on - and all the more enjoyable by the lack of adverts), BBCi (a fantastic resource for adults/children alike) and BBC Radio.No the money is not the issue. Hell at least with Sky you can always stop it. Money wise it's the license fee that gets me, you have to pay that no matter how much crap is, on or no TV.
I was thinking the same Personally Sky is worth it for me for the current UKTV Drama repeats of the Onedin Line (a BBC Drama!) - but that is about all at present -everything else I watch is on Freeview (something else the BBC and Licence Fee have had a major hand in!).The people who have listed what they view have shown that half of what they watch is on FTV
G Canavan said:The Licence fee is worth it just for the fact I dont have to sit through 20mins of ads in an hour long program.
Goooner said:I don't sit through any ads anyway, I just FF past them on my TiVo or Sky+, for the little I actually watch on BBC, I'd be perfectly happy not to pay the licence fee and ditch BBC altogether.
Nick_UK said:I bet you are under 25. You probably listen to the radio for music and nothing else. When you get a little older and wiser, you will realise the value and total necessity of an independent corporation that does not have to bias its programmes and news/politics coverage to suit the whims of its advertisers.
Nick_UK said:I'm not sure I understand why you think I'm biased, just because I like the idea of having a national broadcaster that doesn't have to bow to pressure from advertisers ?
Nick_UK said:My friend's wife is forever telling me the same as you about the BBC, and it's strange, because every time I phone them I can hear BBC TV in the background
