why i no longer own a telly

its full of crap and you have to pay over £100 a year for it... then they waste loads of money doing crap like this so people with unpopular systems get a chance to download the same crap they broadcast on tv.

the beeb has long since stopped being a public service broadcaster and the space between shows is full of adverts. for itself. scrap license fee, make it go commerical.

perhaps have a small license fee (like £20 a year) and start a TV channel that *is* actually public service broadcasting?
