i`ve said it before and i`ll say it again,
just another step towards having to have a "tv licence" to own a COMPUTER and MOBILE PHONE.
you can watch some tv now on the internet without a licence, but if you watch it on tv at the sametime you need one.. ie the olympics
you can soon watch full tv on a mobile phone, think that is being tested in Oxford, but if you watch it on tv you need a licence.
they have already shut the "if it`s broadcast on sat from OUTSIDE the uk you don`t need a licence" loophole, now you need a licence even if you ONLY watch Polish tv, and German porn!! (why don`t sky now move there dish to europe where it would be cheaper to broadcast from?? they couldn`t before cause of this loophole)
now it wont be long before they`ll make you pay cause you own a computer and mobile phone.

The TV Licence fee is not justified and should be abolished. The state of British broadcasting in general is no less than terrible.
I for one am sick of the constant barrage of cheap, poor quality programming. It seems we have to look to the United States for content worth viewing. In my opinion, over 90% of current TV is not worth watching at all.
BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Five are embarrassments to this country. Not to mention the amount of fodder on Sky and Freeview.
And from a technical P.O.V. (i.e. video and audio) British broadcasting is poor.

About 5 years ago the BBC tried to get the goverment to change the law so you needed a individual licence for each television and computer monitor in your house, 3 TVs and 1 monitor would have cost you £504 a year, the goverment told the robbers no.

Well subscription/members-only Bittorrent sites (like UKNova) manage to restrict who downloads.
