Frankly, I think it's ridiculous that you have to have a license for a TV at all... but that's a cultural difference, I think.

I'm still wigged by the idea of having to pay by the minute for use of a landline phone, too.

The licence fee supports the BBC, which is quite a useful institution. I'm inclined to think it should be funded from general taxation instead, but there you go...

The TV licence pays for the BBC. It's like paying for cable except that you are assumed to watch it if you have a TV. Only the BBC has no adverts on it.
