Re: Recieving equipment
And what if you don't have any signal receiving equipment.
Just the TV?
How about a PC with a TV Card, but no Arial, Cable, Satellite etc? I have an old TV Card for a PC out in the shed, it's never used, or even plugged into a PC. Should I get rid of it in case the inspector calls.
Also what's the story with multiple TV's? Do you or do you not need a license for each TV in the house?
Personally I think RTE could be dramatically Cut down, run at a much lower cost, One TV Channel, One Radio Channel, and be just as useful.
Prime Time and the News are Good. Q&A used to be ok. Occasional Documentaries like State of Fear are excellent. Radio 1 is good. And of course the odd Sporting Event. Apart from that the License fee serves no useful Public Broadcasting function.
It should be possible to fully fund a smaller RTE from the License with no Ads. Then I'd agree with it.
