Stumble ThisIn case you didn't know, the poor Brits have to pay a tax for having a TV, which then goes to support public broadcasting. I never understood this - in Canada we do the same thing by simply giving tax dollars to the CBC instead of doin ga per-TV tax.
Although I suppose it makes sense if you chose to withdraw from TV-watching society by not having a TV>
Or by hiding from "the database".

I'd be intrigued to know if they would have the balls to tackle someone who has a USB TV tuner for their computer/laptop?
*dead!! and so close!
The problem is there is no quality programming on BBC1. You might find something interesting on BBC4 but the homegrown stuff is appalling. I don't believe they can go on wasting our money and running unpleasant reminders like this that jar with the expectations of a nice evenings viewing.
Also I imagine it disturbs the fee paying majority but those who don't will not give a crap about the "database".
The only advantage of the BBC is no advertising but now that I have a Tivo-style device I rarely see adverts anyway.
