Advantages: ABSOLUTELY NONE!

Disadvantages: You're paying good money for crap.

The licence fee is an immoral tax levied on people regardless of whether they use, or intend to use, the service that receives the cash - namely the BBC.
The BBC produces nothing that other companies do not do better - except perhaps repeats, for here the BBC is King. The BBC have raised the repeat almost to an art form. If BBC were to become a subscription channel, how many of you would subscribe? Thought so. So there you go, Sky has better news, Discovery better documentaries, Sky again - better comedy & better drama, MTV (and its free) better music. I could go on but I know we're both getting bored - I think I've made my point. There is no rational defence of the TV licence that can be raised.
