Title: TV Licence
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 17 April 2009, 17:48:11
My New TV Licence just arrived today.  Now £142.50.

Pity theres nothing worth watching and program makers are cutting back.

Was paying £21.50 for my Sky package, thats just had 2 groups knocked off.  Still trying to decide whether to have it installed when I move and if so whether to go to HD :-/ :-/

Lots of repeats now, but they now call the programs revisited, ie, grand designs revisited.......location location location revisited.. what they mean is repeat, its just the last 5 mins of the program that is not............tv licence is a rip off.

It's like channel 111 (Dave)  They just change the name, but they went from looping the programs every 6 hours to every 3 :-/

I deserve it. I fought in the war so you could watch television. Just be thankful you dont have to invade Poland every day.

No. That's where drug dealers retire to when they're too old to kill people any more.

I love the recent ads we are getting down here in the West Country regarding the digital switchover ..... it starts by saying "No more free TV" and ends with, "Don't pay for your TV channels, get a freeview box instead and watch TV for free"

It's never been bl**dy free!!!!!  They fail to mention the ever increasing Licence fee, for a channel I hardly ever watch anyway !!!  >:(

I'd recommend a Freesat HD box, very good picture and to be honest BBC HD is a good channel - box is just under £300 in PVR form

  Dont do sky!! they are thieves and notoriously difficult and obstructive to deal with. Not only that, if you have endless repeats of crap to watch you will just sit on the sofa and stagnate when you could be in the garage/pub/Brothel ,or even walking the dog.
I promised them I would give them some bad publicity whenever and wherever I could last time they ripped me off  >:( >:( >:(
