In my ignorance, I must hereby use possibly the most memorable quote from any politician in Australia's history (the response given by Pauline Hanson when she was asked in an interview if she was xenophobic, as she had no idea what this meant
): "Please explain?"What is this 'licence fee' that you refer to, fool-ish? Do you mean pay
TV (extra channels to those normally on offer) or do you have to pay for general, free-to-air TV viewing? We have free television here in Australia (lots of channels on offer now with the recent, nation-wide upgrade to digital television, though I can't receive that digital service out here yet so only have four free-to-air channels). There is, however, the option to also receive many other channels via various pay TV service providers eg FOXTEL or AUSTAR. Which I would never have as I just hate the thought of having to pay for television service, especially when our satellite drops out at even a hint of cloud cover!

I grew up on a diet of British shows (I could only get one channel back then!) but don't watch much of anything any more.
