Advantages: Best programmes out of the 5 terrestrial channels

Disadvantages: Expensive, not a patch on Sky

I don't like having to pay for a TV licence, I think it's an out-dated practice that should be scrapped.

My £140+ per year goes to the BBC who (to be fair) produce the best programmes out of the 5 terrestrial channels, but they're not a patch on what's on Sky.

I only ever watch the BBC for Match of the Day, Have I Got News For You and Family Guy (on BBC 4), so I feel quite hard-done by that I have to fork out over £100 per year for the privilege. Plus my house is in a valley and the terrestrial signal I receive is of absolutely shocking quality, meaning that I have to subscribe to Sky to get a good signal... I'm already paying £600+ per year for Sky, so I resent having to pay another £140+ for a TV licence.

I'd much rather that the BBC abolished the TV licence fee and introduced advertising instead. That way I'd save £140 per year and just be able to fast-forward through the ads on my Sky+.

Summary: I want my £142.50 back!

Sounds unfair if your signal is poor where you live.
