I'm not engaging in a flame war, I'm merely pointing out that your statement about the licence fee is irrelevant to the inequity between those who receive Freeview TV from transmitters and those who receive it from relays. If you can't see that, too bad.

I am prepared to be corrected on this but, as I understand it, the TV licence is only a permit to OPERATE "television receiving equipment". The fact that the fee goes to the BBC is at the whim of politicians and was not always the case. It gives you no rights as to what you receive.

I'm not sure what that is supposed to prove. I've given my view that the licence fee is irrelevant to what I was saying. Ron wrote: "Imagine what the licence fee would be if we had to directly pay for all these channels", but the people on full Freeview do get "all these channels" without paying any more licence fee than people on Freeview Lite, so we know what the licence fee is "for all these channels". You can lead a person to logic but you can't make them think.

BBC do not advertise, the fee covers their costs. Do you get all BBC channels in Todmorden? If not then complain to the BBC. Independent channels are so called because they are not supported by the licence fee. I said in my first post that it is all about money. The advertisers are not going to support small communities as they will not get the revenue to cover the cost. Instead of batting your gums and having a pop at me with petty remarks like 'Lost for words, Ron?', go and live somewhere else or complain to the IBA.
I simply mentioned that the fee would be much greater if we had to pay directly for each channel. Murdoch and Co. seem to have found that out. Logic and Thinking? try it sometime.

Another history lesson. It was reckoned that when ITV started and the TV licence was £4, you were actually paying £6 for ITV through invisible advertising costs. Judging by the fact that people are prepared to pay around £500 for Sky, the ratio has changed for the worse and you are actually paying twice to watch adverts. Ron, yes I thought that David's last sentence was quite self critical.

Oh and I forgot to mention that only £3 of that licence fee went to the BBC, £2 for TV and £1 for radio. HM treasury took the other £1.

Interesting as the history of the licence fee is, I still don't think it's relevant to the topic I was raising which was that of a better choice of channels for those of us on Freeview Lite. I only objected to one aspect of Ron's first post where the licence fee first raised its head.
If you mean that my "last sentence" was critical rather than "self critical" that's probably true. I have no idea what "batting your gums" means (some sort of Yorkshire saying?) but if it means writing something like "Tell him Brian" when somebody has the audacity to disagree with you, then I may be guilty by replying in the same vein.
As Ron is now telling me to be happy with my lot because I don't live near a main transmitter, like a squire talking to a serf,
I shall humbly tell him to place it where the sun doesn't shine and unsubscribe from this useless forum.
