Whooaa! That was scary. I actually sent this about 5 hours ago, and it just posted.
Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/02/02 09:43AM >>> I'm glad you pay. And I'm glad I get BBC America for free! And thank you ever so much for Monty Python. But seriously, I pay $40+/month for cable, so a BBC tax of $180/year only being paid by the users of the service seems not TOO unreasonable. Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/02/02 09:11AM >>> Personally, I don't have a problem with it. The BBC, generally, put out some good quality material, and the license fee represents reasonably good value for money when you consider the cost of, say, satellite, cable or digital TV subscription. There are a few issues though. I do think there is a potential problem in terms of all the online work the BBC do, which is presumably covered by the license fee, although possibly many license fee payers don't or can't access the web. Also, the BBC have a number of digital TV outlets that are obviously not accessible to those people without a digital receiver. All in all though, yes we pay, but yes the quality of the programming is, on the whole, amongst the best in the world. w -----Original Message----- From: Mike Townend [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 02 May 2002 14:02 To: CF-Community Subject: Re: TV Licenses afaik there was a case where some guy changed his telly so that it couldnt pick up the frequencies sent out by the BBC so that it was impossible for him to receive them and thus said he didnt need a license... Im pretty sure there was a court case but im unsure as to what the result was.... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raymond Camden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 1:56 PM Subject: RE: TV Licenses > Interesting question - does the license apply if you build your own TV? > :> > > ======================================================================= > Raymond Camden, Principal Spectra Compliance Engineer for Macromedia > > Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Yahoo IM : morpheus > > "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Mark Smyth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 8:47 AM > > To: CF-Community > > Subject: RE: TV Licenses > > > > > > the strangest thing is we get 5 channels automatically > > > > but the licence only applies for 2 of them (the others being funded by > > advertising), but you still cannot watch the other 3 without getting a > > licence > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Erika L.
