Advantages: none that i can see, they say there is no adverts, then explain there own for music stations ect

Disadvantages: they have a monopoly going with the government

i live in a town where tv reception is poor, even with a booster, i cannot recieve freeview, nor can i get sky, because my flat is in a listed building, hence i would need planning permission to erect a dish outside.
so i am limited to four channels, to which the bbc owns two.
i am being made BY LAW to pay for a license which i feel costs to much for what what i get, the programms i do watch only show for a few weeks then thats it for a whole year, yet the amount of time spent showing football is crazy. i know they wish to up the price of the license AGAIN, and then they want to switch of the annolog signal in 2009, meaning we will all have to pay for new equipment as well as a higher lisence fee, yet when they turn the signal off, i will not be able to get anything at all

Summary: I feel that the tv lisence should be abolished once and for all.
