Streaming movies, do you need a TV licence?
The PC and IP TV seems set to replace traditional television broadcasts. Will the TV license be replaced with a PC tax?

With ever increasing broadband speeds (for some), IPTV is set to take off. But what about the threat of a PC tax to replace the TV licence?

| 12-5-2008 | In Malta we pay a licence too, similar to that of the UK, however the EU forced the local broadcasting authoity to remove it, otherwise they will be given massive fines. Infact it will cease on 31st Dec 08. Itgs strange the EU hasn't imposed the same thing on the UK | John |
| 18-2-2008 | Me too. I've had enough.
Actually, I think some paranoid individuals are worrying about nothing here. There's no way a PC tax could ever be introduced... it would be completely unenforcable to begin with. However, downloads and streaming are becoming very popular and the industry need...more | Bob |

| 25-12-2007 | I've just spent the last six months with our TV unplugged, stored in the garage while the house was renovated. No-one will give me six months refund though (ho ho ho). Did I miss the TV? Not likely! The drivel that is shown now is unbelievable. I get far more fun out of my computer....actually ...more | overfiftys |
| 21-12-2007 | We should get paid to watch the sh1t they put on the BBC channels these days!! BBC should be optional the milking b*stards. does our fee cover radio as well? | MediamAster |
| 09-12-2007 | Abolish the Television Licence altogether, but keep the BBC as a news & education channel, and fund it directly from the Treasury. I have a broadband internet connection on my pc, no television, no TV licence and will fight a PC licence. It's time the TVL gravy train was shut down, not mer...more | Glyn Brain |
| 27-10-2006 | do not pay the bbc/tvlicnece/capita nothing
if you continue to do so we will never get rid of this stupid OPTIONAL tax.
let the bbc fund themselves.

| 13-4-2006 | So as usual we'll pay to view and the rest of the world will be able to watch for free.
What would happen if you don't use the IPTV service but you have a wireless connection and someone's illegally using your wireless connection to watch IPTV | FR@SER |
| 04-4-2006 | If they did have a pc tax they'd have to link it to high-speed broad band. Or maybe they'd give people with an old computer and a 28K modem connection the same sort of reduction that blind people get for their TV licence. Its silly .. what will they tax next? air? It's like the Geo...more | Stratus |
| 10-2-2006 | IPTV TAX - Jeez what will the greedy c**ts think of next, they already RIP US OFF with the overpriced TV Licence (which costs £25 per year in Malta!!!), maybe we should all move there, then the BBC would effectively be bankrupt! | MLB |
| 03-2-2006 | IP TV (IPTV) internet television, call it what you want. It's here all right and you can bet there will be PC or computer tax before long. TV on the web is definately the way forward, but watch out for big brother!! And I don't mean those nutters that lock themselves in a house! | IPTV for me |
| 05-12-2005 | The BBC can f*cking privatise for all I care. I am very poor and have to pay £18 a month to those c*nts. I could get cable for £5! | Paul |
