I presume you are trolling now cos you are bored.

If you learn how to operate a search engine you will find links to the appropriate software.

You're wrong and we are right - I do hope that (apart from being factually correct) is suitably condescending.

No not trolling just pointing out I was correct on this point.

You're having a laugh throwing the trolling word around, you are hardly straight forward with your posts, with your deliberate misunderstandings and your posts such as "how does that work then" even when you know the point being made.

On what point do you think you were correct?

The reason I asked how it worked in reference to you saying the BBC was free was I did not know exactly what you meant.

I like to seek clarification.

Not sure what you mean by testing your equipment.



"it has been known for them to see pictures on TVs that aren't visable to other people" Magic eyesight!

I would ask again, define install.

How does that work?

I am genuinely interested to know what the Acts definition might be of "install."

Is that possible with a TV tuned to receive digital radio broadcasts?

Are the bottom 4 quotes to be taken genuinely and the rest ungenuinely as you really seem to misunderstand alot more than the average person.

And the point I was correct about is...sorry what do you mean can you clarify!

How is the BBC "One person's entertainment"?
Millions watch (and pay) for the BBC!

What you meant is that a very few individuals are unhappy at helping to fund an organisation they don't like for some reason.

Those who like the BBC seem to think they are special and thus everyone should be forced to contribute towards your entertainment, its simple really.

You seem to think its a few people and yet if the BBC was voluntary you'd soon find out the truth!

No-one is being "forced".

If you don't want to pay a licence fee then don't.

If I wish to watch live television I first have to subsidise your beloved BBC first, that is me being forced. Is Eastenders that important to you?

Just don't watch live TV.

You Beeboids don't see how selfish and arrogant that comes across do you

Why is the licence not a yearly encryption code, it can be done with adult services on digital TV, so them that dont pay dont watch BBC services.
If I opened a shop selling horse meat pies, people would soon object if they had to pay a yearly pie subscription, even if you dont eat my pies.

It is simple extortion and well overdue.
We have hundreds of TV channels that get nothing from the licence, when it was introduced there was only the BBC so it was a subscription.
Scrap it, let them survive on what they are worth like everyone else has to.

Do you really want annoying ads which break up your favourite programmes? Or perhaps you just don't watch BBC at all?

The BBC's ads are the most annoying of the lot.

The people who swear by it and make out its the best thing since sliced bread know the vast majority would rather do without it which is the reason why they'll never want it to be voluntary...................basically their fascist hypocrites.

If anyone thinks I'm going OTT I remind them that I do not demand they subsidise Satellite or Cable TV for me, I'd be quite happy with a genuine Free, Freeview.............the Beeboids on the otherhand demand you subsidise their mighty BBC

Don't bother me but then I don't get the chance to see those while the BBC demand I fund them first, I'd go to prison rather than give them a penny

All the quotes were genuine questions.

The reason I asked for a definition of "install" (to no avail) was explained earlier.

Unfortunately some of my questions remain unanswered.

As to your question I was asked on what point you thought you were correct on. "Look I'm right you're wrong." was your statement I wanted to know on what of the points you raised in your post you thought you were correct

Not a difficult question.
