Yeah, you actually have to pay an annual "tv license" or something akin to that, don't you?

Nope - no tv license charges in North America. I just have to pay my monthly $20.00 cable bill, which gives me fifty-some channels that I never watch...

Well, we're not exactly off the hook in Canada - each year our public broadcaster (the cbc) receives roughly one billion dollars in subsidies from taxpayers. AND the cbc also runs advertisements (on television anyway - the radio stations are commercial-free)...so basically we give tax-payer funds to the cbc so that they can compete to take away advertising revenues from private broadcasters. To me, that seems more than a little unjust.

Usually on a Sunday you're not going to find anything decent on tv.

I'll make an exception for Sci-Fi today. wink
