Axe the tax or pay more for less?

Or BBC adding content to streaming services so it can then compel even more people to pay?
Erm…

One update after another sending
conflicting thoughts, plans, schemes,
suggestions, hopes and dreams.The clocks went back 1 hour this morning,
so our computers should have updated the time
automa-TICK-ly for the 25th of Octobrrr 2026.The Halloween sales are back!
I recently put in an order on a Koorui 32″ LED HD Ready TV. However, I did extra research and learned that a ROKU TV has a difficult installation setup. So it wouldn’t be something easy to give someone else as a gift and then just leave them to agree terms and conditions and then to register for several streaming services. I chose to investigate a lot of feedback provided by different websites and decided to cancel the order.
The HDR10 picture quality was shown to be essential to get best quality displays.
If customers decided to get a 6-year warranty cover and still keep the 720 pixel TV then the RicherSounds website is where to get the VIP new customer registration deal for a total of £110.
I still prefer 4K Smart TVs instead. Pay extra, see extra.
Or check Amazon or eBay and so on, or wait for the Black Friday TV deals coming soon.
A different email account received a £10 off a £60 order.

I ordered £70 instead and still saved a total of £110.
Delivery tomorrow, the 24th of October 2026.
I made 2 more £15 orders for a total of £30 using HAUL15 discounts for first-time customers on Amazon Haul. The value of the items would be 22 x £10 for £220. An estimated saving of £190.
This has a section for Amazon Haul that offers reduced prices and a first order 15% discount code to get redeemed when ordering or at the checkout.
HAUL15
So different accounts can get that and help save even more.
Another discounted £70 order for about £59 instead with a total saving of £110. So now the total goes up from £300 to £410.

No point keeping money in the Bank! I’m not “interested enough” for that…
Once again…

This week has begun and I saved £110 on my latest £59 order to get delivered tomorrow on the 21st of October 2026.
Total saved? £190 + £110.
£300. Nuff said.I discovered another email account with a voucher code that was accepted and this time the total saving was almost £100. So the 3 separate orders result in a saving of about £190. If the new items don’t get delivered then I still get the voucher code £12 discount. If less items then I will order these again later instead.

So within a few days I could have used the discount deals to pay for my TV Licence Tax instead.

If you can read this web page without being astonished then you just ain’t got a clue what’s likely to happen for the next year and ten more years after that. Or for “generations to come”.
YouTube and other streaming services to include BBC content to get more revenue from viewers who clearly hate paying the tax for years to come.
Whether the BBC has a deficit of over £100 million for 2025/2026 is surprising and yet those viewers who should pay the tax, but don’t, have been regarded as criminals and nothing less than thieves.
YouTube commentators update us with videos of BBC Licence Tax enforcers but they target any unlicenced property rather than those who are regarded as illegal viewers alone. Without proof there is unlikely to be any court action or fines. Fines that the BBC want to get increased to cause people even more concern whether they are guilty or innocent and exempt from paying at all.
YouTube is being involved just to get more BBC revenue and other services will as well. So what may appear as just a £5 a month subscription could cost customers even more because of what the BBC says it wants to get for more “generations to come”.
I pay the tax but remind people that just a few adverts on various TV and streaming services could save us hundreds or even thousands of pounds.
Example: Morrisons. the online groceries website. sends me email voucher codes. I’ve saved over a hundred pounds using 3 voucher codes recently. New customers can register and save money, too.
Even so, we still have to pay our Broadband and phone line rental charges and maybe install a Freeview TV aerial or get a Sky box or buy a Sky box on eBay. The latest Manhattan Aero set-top box gets Freely and that means Internet streaming services. Money gets paid but we can offset our costs depending on which TVs we get and which extra set-top boxes we get and so on.
I pay Sky £11 a month, Virgin Media about £33 a month, NOW TV about £8 a month, Netflix about £7 a month and that means about £2 a day and then the 50p a day TV Licence Tax… In return, I save hundreds and thousands every single year!
Following on with the same discount code, I saved a total of £54 on the order to be delivered on Monday.
http://www.groceries.morrisons.com
With the previous order, it means a combined total of about £94.
I was quoted a reduced price for the TV bundle and Netflix. First it was £47 a month and then the offer was £42 a month. Next April, £42 becomes £46 and so on.
Not exactly in my favour.
I will use the Netflix website service instead of a 24-month Virgin Media contract.

This weekend, the savings total about £40…
Special savings this week with over £900 discounts on 5 separate orders with a total cost of almost £700 instead of £1600. Such savings are based on this year’s discount savings being spent here rather than on other Internet websites and their increased prices.
I ordered with extra loyalty points savings or today’s discount code on the 10th of October 2026.
The discounts are an equivalent of paying 5 TV Licence Tax payments of £180…
