Well presumably if you say live in a house with a sighted person they
are still capable of watching in colour or black and white, but if you
are the person paying the license but blind.
True, but the real reason for the concession is that in this case
"blind" includes many that the rest of us might describe as "partially
sighted". So those who can't take full advantage of the full colour
moving picture experience pay less.
