The TV license is definitely real. All the others are fake though (I believe).

A TV Licence costs £174.50

Wtf is this in addition to paying for cable/satellite?

[-] JadedBlueEyes@programming.dev 19 points 1 day ago

Nope. You can just plug your TV into the aerial to get BBC + free channels. Netflix and whatever costs extra tho

I mean we have free over the air TV here in the states too, just don’t need a loicense for it

Yes, and it's ad-riddled nonsense.

The BBC runs no adverts, save for trailers of its own stuff.

Yeah and even cable/satellite, paid services, are ad-riddled lol. Always kills me how the older generations criticize us for being financially irresponsible when they’re paying to watch a service that’s 20-25% ads
