Ok you pay £121 a years for netflix, do you consider its good value for you money?

- Start date
Yep.
Do you consider a brand new episode of Doctor Who worth 9 Chicken McNuggets?
If not, how many McNuggets IS an episode of Doctor Who worth to you?
So why do you find Netflix value for money?
Hey, let’s mix it up. You answer the question I’ve asked you a bunch of times.
Is a new episode of Question Time worth nine chicken McNuggets?
No.
So why do you find Netflix value for money?

A cup of coffee then from Starbucks then?
If not, how much do you want to pay for an episode? Nothing? 1 pound?
The BBC content.
Nothing, because i can't walk into the BBC and buy one episode of anything, the BBC works differently from a fast food franchise, it is impossible for me in anyway to pay for only one live BBC transmitted Question time episode or one live transmitted episode of Who, so stating the price of one episode while it can never be available to purchase at that price is pointless, unless you are privy to a way to buy one live transmitted episode that can be purchased for the price of 9 nuggets.
Do you watch any of the other content on Netflix that is not BBC content?

You can buy single episodes of Doctor Who through iTunes and Amazon prime. In iTunes, you can also get a season pass. The episodes are posted quite quickly. So, yeah, you CAN buy one episode of something.
Actually, looking on Amazon UK, it looks like you could buy each episode individually, 1.89 pounds for SD, 2.49 pounds for HD--hey pretty close to the price you ARE PAYING FOR IT RIGHT NOW.
EDITED TO ADD: Of course, if you were one of those "No digital episodes for me!" types, of course, you could pick up the DVDs... there are currently selling for about 33 pounds on Amazon UK. About 3.30 pounds per episode. A little more than what you are paying now.
Sounds like paying the licensing fee is a pretty good deal. Especially since it's the only way you can see Question Time.
I'm splitting it up per price to give you a sense of cost to you. To give you a sense of how little you pay for an episode of the shows that you actually watch.
What would happen if the BBC got rid of the licensing fee. No more 154 pounds. But, rather, it because a subscription service. You only paid for the content you wanted to watch. How much would you pay for a series of Doctor Who? How much would you pay for Question Time?
Or would you still rather pay nothing and not see the shows?
I do. But, I go through period where I will watch content and then I won't use it at all. I would say, if I'm being generous, I'm using Netlfix 6 months out of the year, a few hours of those days. But, I'm still happy that the service is there.

If Doctor Who is the only thing you care about on TV, then stop paying 154 quid a year and wait for the DVDs.
So your saying i can instead of giving the TV licence £154 quid, i can instead get better value for my money by going to Amazon or Itunes, well we got there in the end. Lol
Yeah one does not simply stop buying the tv licence fee in the UK, you can but i hope you enjoy a unending amount of threatening letters along with a unending amount of strangers knocking on your door at all hours of the day ask you to prove you are not committing a criminal offence. Lol
I'm not saying that at all, actually. Unless iTunes has Question Time... and a quick good search doesn't give clarity on that... You wouldn't have access to 50% of the shows you watch on the BBC.
So, your licensing is a better deal. It's giving you everything you want Doctor Who and Question Time, whereas iTunes and Amazon would only give you half of what you want.
So your 154 quid also buys you peace and quiet? Peace and quiet alone is worth 154 quid.
No, You, a non tv licence fee payer is telling me i am getting good value, i, a actual licence fee payer, does not think i am getting good value.

Sure, you don't THINK you are, but, you are. I'm not sure how you AREN'T getting a good value. Other than just be stubborn about it. I guess Doctor Who and Question Time aren't really important to you.
If I could, I would LOVE to have the BBC here in America. BBC America is like the BBC at nights, sometimes. Other than that, it's endless repeats of Star Trek TNG.
Again, value is subjective, you think it is great to get all the BBC content you enjoy along with all your Netflix content to boot, and so do i, if it were a choice between your netflix and the BBC, it would be your netflix in a heartbeat, then i could take the 33 quid that was left and buy the BR season 11 of Dr Who.....i mean talk about a win win,

So, you aren't happy that you get Question Time and Doctor Who for 3 pounds an episode?
Again, I'll ask: what would you pay?
Honest question, but is it even possible to opt out of the license fee? I thought it wasn't. I even thought I've heard of vans going around detecting people who haven't paid. Or, maybe that's people who opt out but then watch the BBC anyway? I'm not really sure. Is it mandatory?

What you are paying, for all the BBC content you enjoy AND all that Netflix content rolled into one, who eould not be happy with thst value for money.
Every premises in the UK is on the licence data base, so any that are not shown to be in possession of a tv licence will be sent warning letter ad nausum and have unannounced visiters at their doors at any time of the day wanting access to enter your premises so you can prove you are not committing a criminal offence........the tv detector vans were complete lies spread by the BBC back in the day.
