trevorjharris: "You cannot be imprisoned for TV Licence evasion although you can be imprisoned for non payment of a fine imposed by the court."
BBC - Press Office - TV Licence Fee: briefing
"Repeats on BBC One will increase, but remain under 10% of all output (the current rate is 8.4%)."
BBC One - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"BBC One - A small reduction in the number of new factual, comedy or entertainment programmes or feature films broadcast after the 10 o’clock news. Replaced by repeat programmes from BBC One and other channels; peak-time repeats would increase by around one per cent overall, but would remain below 10 per cent"

trevorjharris: Yes, as I pointed out above: "You cannot be imprisoned for TV Licence evasion although you can be imprisoned for non payment of a fine imposed by the court."
By your reckoning then everyone should be able to shoplift from Tesco and there be no comeback.
The costs of court are passed on to the sentenced party. It's costing a fortune for people who break the law.

Mike Davison: My godfather was high up in the QUAD company, that made Electrostatic speakers.

I remember being very impressed by the oscilloscopes that showed that each of the newly minted speakers each matched up against the reference speaker in the "padded room". The oscilloscope showed that the microphone was picking up silence because one speaker was being sent the inverted signal from the other.

A Harris: I did a series of articles on this... The end is near for analogue radio... Part one, a Medium and Long Wave goodbye | Digital radio | ukfree.tv - 11 years of independent, free digital TV advice
The main reason is one of cost: with so few users, it's much cheaper for people in your situation to switch to online listening.
