I informed the TVLA that my mum's flat had been empty since her death and they can stop sending monthly harassing letters.
Picked up the mail there again last weekend, we're now on an 'Enforcement Action' and _will_ be visited, etc, etc.
Meanwhile, I'm 90% certain I'll be cancelling my own Licence soon and deleting iPlayer off my AppleTV, mostly because the BBC can't figure out how to make subtitles work on it, so if I'm going to have to pirate Doctor Who so my wife can watch with subtitles anyway, why bother paying in the first place?
The BBC is definitely an institution whose best days are long past. It's not really their fault - successive generations of political ruling classes have really hated them and wanted to see the end of public service broadcasting in the UK, but when presented with opportunities to showcase their value the BBC are definitely experts at stuffing it up.
- hunta2097 3y agoThe TVLA is borderline criminal. It's the main reason I hate the BBC now. What other service is openly accessible but you get fined if you use it?
