Who pays it? I refuse 2pay it an if they did catch me I would fight em in court, ppl should stand up 2 BBC why pay a licence 2 the BBC 2 watch everyother channel? What if u have sky? BBC is anoutdated system, its corrupt an daft. Other channels r paid by advertisements, we have 2 pay 4 the BBC even if u never want to watch it, this system has to change.

It pisses me off too & I sent a letter to them a couple of years ago saying pretty much what you said, they did reply but with nothing of use. Basically just said u have to pay but didn't reason why.
I suggested it is just ANOTHER way the British public is ripped of & asked if any other countries had it but they didn't say.
So do any other countries have to buy a TV Liscence?

Yes they do, quite a few other countries have them however they're about a quarter of the price we pay in the UK.
I pay mine every October. The price always goes up every year now by about £5. I think this year it is £121 for a colour licence.
I also have
FREEVIEW which i dont count as
FREE if you still have to pay a TV licence.

I couldn't agree more with you titus, If I am not watching BBC (Using sky) why I should I pay for a service I am not using. Again from a legal point of view I will say it takes away my right of choice but again since here in UK we don't have a written constitution with declared rights I don't think I could challenge it in the court unless there are precedents (rulings by courts in similiar cases)

here in Sweden we pay 1872SEK/year (~€200/year) for the TV/radio-license... don't care much about it really since it isn't really that expensive...
