Cut the end off my coaxial lead about 6 years ago when I realised it was just background noise sucking the life out of me. Gives you more time to read, listen to music, find other creative things to entertain yourself with. Watch the occasional show on catchup services like iplayer/4od.
When you send off the form to the licensing people it stops them harassing you for a bit, but then they’ll come back with a vengeance. They’ll try and bluff their way into your home. I heartily recommend when they come knocking at your door you state you’ve got no aerial as the programming is so bad nowadays it’s getting in the way of family life, then ask the inspector to pre-sign an agreement to pay you the exact cost of the licensing fee as compensation to ‘intrude upon your privacy and enter your home to examine your equipment.’ The more who do this, the less they’ll attempt to use powers they don’t legally have.
I hear they are looking to make access to iplayer just through licensing (login) because viewing habits have changed in recent times.
