TV Licence Reviews

Back in the good old days when there were only 3 TV channels, paying the modest license fee seemed reasonable as you were pretty well certain to be watching a lot of BBC programs due to the lack of choice. In the modern world, with Sky TV etc etc and the number of alternative forms of entertainment such as computers, it isn't ...  Read the complete review

While it would appear that most people are against having to pay around 30p/day to be able to have a TV licence, I have no problem with the licence or the BBC at all. I do spend a reasonable amount of time watching both the TV and listening to the radio and I know that I prefer listening to radio which has no ad breaks in it and also watching ...  Read the complete review

I see there a a few offerings on this topic in this section - surely it demands a section on its own? Most people belly-ache about the TV Licence Fee (and don't get me wrong, I'm one of them). We only have terrestrial analogue TV. Both my children have Sky Digital but it really puzzles me why they are willing to shell out over ...  Read the complete review

The TV license is essntial for the way we watch TV. Before I start I'd like to say I am not connected to the BBC in anyway. Isn't is annoying when watching a film, you're coming to a crucial point and in come the ads. How infuriating! Or how about the Grand Prix's, the races can get a bit processional, and you can bet ...  Read the complete review

With the event of Digital, Satellite and cable, there are now many choices of who to choose as your television supplier. However, many millions of continue to watch the Beeb and you have to ask yourself why ? Firstly, it is only about £7 a month. Secondly, we are used to many of the items on the channels and we trust them to be ...  Read the complete review

What a load of rubbish. Why do we have to pay for a TV license when you never watch the BBC. It is a national institution etc etc, but what ever happened to customer choice. There is non you have to have a TV license to fund 2 TV channels out of an ever increasing number. As an NTL customer I still can't get BBC choice (good) but I am still ...  Read the complete review

I enquired many years ago if i took my ariel down then i ...  Read the complete review

The price of a TV licence has now gotten out of hand. I personally think it's legalised extortion. Yeah the BBC have to make money somehow to pay the inflated egos that work there but come on give us a break. Fair enough OAP's now get either a rebate or a free TV licence depending on their age but what about the rest of us? As ...  Read the complete review

Here we go again firstly the less well off are being penalized by the current price of our TV licence . It can be cheaper being paid by direct debit,but do check on this because a friend of mine enquired about this and found His payments were to be spread over 2 years some being paid in advance ,being disabled He couldnt afford to ...  Read the complete review

More than ever, the programmes that are dished up on the BBC are repeats. In years to come we will realise that there was probably only 6 episodes of "One Foot in the Grave" ever made, but it's never off our screens. Where is out license money actually going? We certainly aren't getting a good return for our investment. ...  Read the complete review

I'm here, probably in a minority of one, to stand up for the licence fee & good old Aunty Beeb. Now on the face of it the licence fee looks a bit steep. £100 for two, terrestrial channels & 5 nationwide radio channels plus the local station which most people under a certain age do not listen to but think about it for a second. £100 is £2 a ...  Read the complete review

Listen up people, this is your government here. You WILL pay over £100 a year to watch banal programmes with overpaid, hasbeen presenters. You WILL pay over £100 a year to watch endless repeats of programmes that were crap the first time around. You WILL pay over £100 a year to watch comedy that's about as funny and amusing as a funeral. You ...  Read the complete review
