In the UK however people pay a TV broadcasting tax to receive those stations & they have vans that drive around neighbourhoods detecting whether or not you're receiving broadcasts in your home without paying the tax... In the UK no one thinks it's strange to pay a broadcast tax. Just try and introduce that now to the Americans or Canadians though!!![]()
A funny and interesting point. Now, I've known about the broadcast tax... and I've often thought that I woudn't bother to pay. After all, I pay for OTHER entertainment for my TV. I have netflix deliver movies to my door, and I have my own DVD's and tapes.
In general I'd prefer to wait until the season of whatever I like is out on DVD and rent that season.
