Bit rich coming from a guy who proudly states he doesn't pay his TV licence, despite it being "worth it".

Not really. It's not a hard concept to get your head around. Maybe it is if you have a pea for a brain. Do you have a pea for a brain?

"Oohhh that's worth it, just can't afford it right now. I'll get it the next time"

That there was rocket science. Was it? Idiot.

lol it's sad that baiting people on the internet is how you get your kicks. You're always going on about how wonderful the view is from your window, why don't you go for a long walk instead? Who knows, you might suffer a big fall!

You've slightly missed the point. We pay for the license fee so we don't pay by watching adverts. Viewers of commercial channels effectively "pay" for their TV by sitting through adverts. The BBC gets paid by foreign broadcasters for the rights to its shows (including the rights to remake them)... they probably end up "paying" more than you or I in the long run.

You know, there's not *always* something to complain about.

Ok i hear that for the BBCA channel or what not.
But what about eg. Holland etc.. (also Belgium I think too#) where they literally get the BBC, totally @ the same time as us. No adverts at all.
Im not particularly moaning, rather I just find it interesting if they do pay or not.

I guess it depends how they view it. If it's on a broadcast channel then that channel will be paying the BBC for the rights to broadcast their shows (same as the BBC pays for American/Australian/etc shows that it broadcasts on behalf of us)... if they manage to spoof an IP and watch over the iPlayer then, yeah, they're getting it for free.

The BBC makes a lot of money from exports... according to Wikipedia it made £118m from exporting TV shows last year.
