You don't need a TV license, if you don't watch Terrestrial TV, so just get a Netflix, now TV, and stream. If you use I-player you need a license.

 I didn't have a license for years, as I was hardly ever in, and had a proper Dish, with all the trick bits,   Now days it's all available on line with the right box.

So you never watch live TV?

If you watch live TV on any device, via any service, you DO need a TV licence.

Is just £3 per week so much and is too much to pay for everything that live tv gives you?

  If somebody in the house didn't watch enders, the TV license would be unpaid, I can quite happily survive on stream shows, and such like...  I don't like the way The msm channels have gone, they way they report, and force there veiws upon people.

I don't watch this badly acted and scripted crap. The same goes for the badly acted and scripted northern version on ITV.

I did briefly see a huge black woman mural  on 'Enders' which is just  BBC falling over itself to be  'politically correct'.......

 I noticed the same piece of blatant racial correctness,

 Herself never misses it, so it's on.
When I'm about my business it's normally Netflix, fully surround sound in the Volvo ,,,,or I read a book, if I can be bothering to put the TV on normally it's quest or Dmax.

 Rust valley restorers is good.. Having watched a few programs filmed in Canada, I'm of the thinking they are a bit bonkers. Hence good TV.

Nag Nag Naga Munchetty on £195k bless her 
She says  BBC presenters are not there simply to read out  the news like robots
WRONG she thinks she`s bigger then the corporation,  I can see a one woman show on the horizon & a starting salary of at least a £million

Perhaps if they actually employed journalists, she might have a case... But she won't be getting a million pound show of her own anytime soon, because no one would actually watch it... no viewers = no revenue = no job.

A Newsreaders sole purpose in life is to, surprise surprise, read the news. Certainly give it a personal edge, although that's a bit 'local newsy', but ultimately read it out without opinion and pay some talking heads to ask the tricky questions on programmes such as Newsnight or On the Record.

The issue is partly a generational one, but you wouldn't catch Nicholas Witchell/Trevor MacDonald/Sue Lawley et al behaving like the current lot do or even being allowed to in the first place. The only reason Paxman got away with being like he was with people was because he wasn't reading the news.

I'm intrigued to see if newsreaders in human form survive the next 10-20 years. Given the way AI is moving, together with the growing ability of computers to generate, render and animate increasingly real human forms, I'm wondering how long it will be before we have computers reading the news to us.

The BBC is as left wing as Fox news is right wing. Neither position is desirable.

The problem is that people tend to believe the 'integrity' of the BBC as being balanced as honest. Which it isn't.

[Doctor Gollum]

Fox isn't that far to the right of centre, it's more that everyone else has gone left of Lenin and Mao...

They have some attractive leggy blonde presenters..... Which helps.

I don't think that the US media outlets are necessarily far left or far right, rather that they are extremely closely aligned to the Dem/Rep political parties and toe the party line in a way that the UK news outlets tend not to do.

The BBC in particular often makes itself look foolish in pursuit of 'Balance'.

No mention of anything more than 'peaceful protests' after 100+ nights of rioting in Portland, yet one person deposited a poo on Nancy Pelosis' drive and you'd be forgiven for thinking that he had tried to butcher Mother Theresa judgung by the reactions from CNN/NBC...
