we have to pay the BBC for a TV licence here in the UK. About $250 a year to receive proper live TV.
|
You're kidding? Here you just have to buy a TV. Of course, if you want anything besides basic channels you have to buy a package of some sort, either cable or dish.
|
If you purchase a TV the BBC licensing agency gets notified, then they'll send you a letter telling you you need a license. Only if you bought it for a household that doesn't all ready have a license though. They can even legally come in to your house and check to see if you're receiving TV without a license. Which can lead to massive fines and all that good stuff.

Wow...that blows my mind...
|
Only place I know that does it. BBC pretty much owns the TV industry here.
|
*nods* You don't have to buy a cable or dish package here if you don't want to. You can still get local channels.
|
We get 4 basic channels that don't require digital, but two of them a BBC channels. You even need a license to receive those for basic ones.
So my Tv is not connected to anything in any way. Just a PS3/Wii for Netflix and it has a USB port for playing shows I have on my PC. |
Well, at least you can still watch movies and such.
|
I have to resort to torrenting shows and being all illegal because i don't have the money to pay for such things. I feel sort of bad about it, but I'm about 6 years behind on shows Dx
|
Well, that sucks. Don't you have a neighbor you can watch TV with?
|
-chuckles- You people post in here more than I do.
|
Heheh, we get on a roll and can't stop.
|
So I see! It's great to see you two getting long so well.
|
Heheh, I like his sense of humor.
|
Ducky is pretty damn fantastic. I admired him from afar long before we actually became friends.
|
Both of you are, actually!
