I'm sorry, but that's just all sorts of screwed up. What's so incredible about turning on a TV to capture publicly blasted waves that requires a friggin operation tax? You already pay for the electricity.. for the materials in the construction (when you bought it).. so.. what are you being taxed over, the loss of energy in the broadcast from you intercepting and viewing it? Cripes. This has got to be one of the most draconian, stupid things I've ever heard. And the British people allowed this?

It's no surprise they can try to fine someone for SINGING with that sorta crap going on willy nilly.

The BBC is funded by the TV licence in the UK.
