Or, do nothing at all via council tax, and collect the money for broadcasting upkeep from the various providers, and allow them to increase their fees accordingly.

Otherwise we're just flipping the deal in the other direction. I'd still be watching all of my shows via broadband (which I already pay for) and not via your precious oldy - fashionedy over the air broadcasting towers, so... I would be paying through my council tax for you to watch BBC. That doesn't seem fair at all, Livia. I don't care if you get to watch BBC even a tiny little bit!im just heartless like that.

(tbf I'd probably end up paying a BBC sub for Eastenders because I'm just that sort of chav).

TS... you know that the licence isn't just to watch the BBC... and I'd hardly call the BBC oldy-fashionedy... and not because you've just made those words up, you sod.

If all you want to watch on the BBC is Eastenders, you should probably have your telly taken away tbh... a punishment for, well... for watching Eastenders.
