So how much is
this silly tv tax anyway? :)
I don't know that I'd call it silly since the BBC seems to do
a better job than the networks over here and the junk they tend to
show. Especially if they don't get interupted by commercials every 8
minutes or so.
Oh I'm sure the BBC content is very good. I enjoy watching BBC America on
occasion. However, it's not a voluntary thing. It seems that if you own
a device that is technically able to get their signal, you're stuck for
the tax. To me, that's silly. It's also a good reason to do your
damnedest to avoid the tax if you don't actually watch programs that are
delivered over the airwaves. Building a faraday cage around the TV should
do nicely. :)
I guess it boils down to if you use the service, by all means pay for it,
but if you try to charge me for something I don't consume, be prepared to
pull back a bloody stump when you stick your hand in my pocket. *grin*
I still would like to know how much they're charged.
