After watching the sorry episode of MOTD put out last night I started to question how much BBC content do I consume for the mandatory license?
I don't watch Eastenders, I can get the news anytime, only things I watch 'live' are Sports, Only Connect, and Dragons Den. Everything else I record or watch on iplayer. Why do I have to pay this license fee, when I use so little of the service but if I don't pay I get threats of further action? Also, if I watch iplayer on a laptop, it's virtually impossible to know if I have a license or not.
This scandal has bought to life the inadequate scheduling of the BBC. If you look through the more obscure channels you will find good content but I'm talking about the mainstream channels and the flagship programmes. If the BBC was an optional paid subscription I'd almost certainly cancel it.

i pay a TV licence so i can legit watch live broadcasts on other non terrestrial channels. No other reason, so all this crap really annoys me. I shouldn't be paying a licence
