Subsidised seems to be your favorite word in your last comment, putting aside that. I stood to be corrected about radio's and if u need a licence still. in 1 way yeh i was right, u had to have a tv licence many years ago if you only had a radio. Now you don't need one. That clears that 1 up!

We pay high tv licences for those hundreds of people who say they haven't got a tv, but have. If everyone paid up it may go down or stay the same price for years to come.

Again, any TV recieving equipment anyone has, will have have a tv licence. That also goes for computers, Mobiles, ect.
