Still do. On one hand it's ridiculous that you need a license to own a TV. But on the other hand it's thanks to the license fee that the BBC makes some reasonably intelligent and interesting TV programs, you know TV that actually engages the mind, otherwise they'd just screen wall-to-wall soap operas, reality shows and bloody singing competitions like every other TV station.

You've said it, it's one of the few channels here that prides itself on not giving us crappy soaps and reality shows week after week.

What does the typical Brit pay for Cable? And how much is the TV licence?


Personally I refuse to pay for TV and use an antenna. I accept that it limits my choices but I'm ok with it, I don't watch a lot. If there's something that's on cable only and I really need to see it (this will definitely be true if the Ducks make it to the BCS title game) I'll head over to Becky's place or go to a sports bar or something.

We have Sky and Virgin here. I think Sky is something like 75 quid a month for the TV (all channels), phone line and internet (scamming twats). But you can make your own dodgy set up at home with relative ease which costs about 5 quid a month to run.

Virgin, not sure.

Same mate I literally never watch telly unless it's live football or other sports like Snooker, Wimbledon in the Tennis etc when there's a big tournament on.

The only Canadian city I really know well is Vancouver and I love it. Weather is nearly identical to here, rain and cold in winter but not *bitter* cold like Winnipeg or Edmonton, some of the best restaurants in the word, the incredible Stanley Park, vibrant night life, great town.

Too bad the Canucks suck this year

TV license is a one-off payment of only *flashing*£145.50!!!*flashing*.

"Cable" is at most £20 a month if you want all the movie channels and stuff. I pay £12 a month without that because torrents.

The TV License authority have vans that can detect that you're watching TV without a license because a receiver alters the behavior of all surrounding radio-frequencies in the area (bull****). I didn't know one person when I was at university who paid for one.

I pay my TV license quarterly because I'm a pauper who dries his teabags on the washing line and reuses them.
