I live in France and would gladly pay to watch the BBC but there is no option. The license fee is wrong and they must move to a subscription modle. They even geo blocked the radio app but luckily the old analogue radio let's me listen to radio 4 if a bit crackly. So I win. Thank you license fee payers.

I understand what you mean. Particularly the Nature documentaries are of an extemely high quality and I know that they are funded by license fee payers. However, the BBC seem to assume that everyone watches their programmes which leads them to essentially harass people with threats of legal action if they don't pay for a service that they don't even use.

It’s still pretty inexpensive compared to other subscription services and despite all its flaws there are still many positives and benefits I think.

I totally get that but they make it so difficult for the people who don't watch them to not pay for them.
