Hi,

Given that the licence is only for the BBC channels,
and I'll perhaps watch
2-3 hours of them per week, it works out as quite an expense per programme!
Not quite - the licence is for having _any_ equipment installed in your
home capable of receiving broadcast tv - _any_ broadcast tv. The money
goes (mostly) to the bbc, but a licence is required for any broadcast
tv equipment including, but not limited to, a tv set, video or dvd
recorder with a tuner or a computer with a tuner. You still have to
pay even if you never watch the bbc :-(
