Well, it might do IF you tell the truth 
How and who is going to prove your box ticking was a pack of lies?
If your tv is connected to the internet, checking these things is so much easier now and bbc are getting more desperate with the preassure to abolish, so im guessing theyll be trying to rake in as much money now as possible.
My TV is not connected to the internet and also, I watch very little TV other than GBNews and Talk TV. My 4 daughters often bring over recorded DVD’s for us, but again, we seldom watch any unless completely bored.

Defo not worth you paying for a licence then.
Thanks. 
I’m in two minds about this, I don’t like some of the BBC’s style but not paying the licence fee would be like cutting off my own nose to spite my face. Some of their radio is superb and all things considered I’d rather have the BBC than not.

The trouble is, there’s such a lot of right-wing and anti work attack on the BBC
And obviously the Tories don’t like any broadcaster that might criticise them and would much prefer commercial channels like GB news, content controlled by who’ll advertise with them and biased political opinion plus a chance for Tory cronies to get their snout in the trough
£15 whole pounds a year and their shipping up outrage and threats of control? They just want to starve the BBC of funding
Where’s their outrage and controls over fuel prices?
I hardly watch the BBC, listen to the radio station sometimes
But I still think what you can get from your licence fee makes it the best media deal of all of them
And I’d pay up anyway just because I believe every country should have a public service broadcaster, free of advertising

Just stop paying, when they come to arrest you, just “Escape to the Country”

As I’ve said before, the bbc should introduce a set top box for viewers that wanted to watch bbc programmes and those that don’t would have the channels scrambled , if, say you wanted to watch a program or series, then you can pay per view …
I don’t mind paying .
What I do mind it’s their bias and lies.
They cant even call a bunch of genocidal murderers and rapists and child snatchers terrorists .
I’m sure you know this but here we go anyway
Government ministers, newspaper columnists, ordinary people - they’re all asking why the BBC doesn’t say the Hamas gunmen who carried out appalling atrocities in southern Israel are terrorists.
The answer goes right back to the BBC’s founding principles.
Terrorism is a loaded word, which people use about an outfit they disapprove of morally. It’s simply not the BBC’s job to tell people who to support and who to condemn - who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.
We regularly point out that the British and other governments have condemned Hamas as a terrorist organisation, but that’s their business. We also run interviews with guests and quote contributors who describe Hamas as terrorists.
Must have heard that a thousand times now.
And me Kazz, answered yes to most questions. Ruddy annoying as for several years I got it for nothing, then they said pensioners had to pay after all. Most unfair too.
The licence is actually for the receiving equipment and not specifically to watch BBC programmes.
So the only beeb I watch is iPlayer on the internet, but wait Mrs d00d likes the occasional thing on the telly. Hmmmm …

I never watch the news on the beeb, but there are things I do like to watch, and did you know that channels such as Dave, Yesterday, Quest and many others are all BBC based…
Despite my slagging off of the beeb, they are still the best broadcasting service in the world in my opinion.
