Not quite. We'd end up paying both the cable providers fee and the regular tv licence as well.
No. You end up paying for cable and that is it. Why would you have to pay for a license fee if they are on cable? By them being on cable you just proved you don't watch them thus you don't have to pay the licenese fee at all. Better yet, they can be like HBO. A premium channel.
The trouble is you still get the BBC channels in most of the packages you can get here as far as I know (but I may be terribly wrong, I've never looked into cable that much), plus you'd still be watching it on a TV capable of recieving the terrestrial signal. Auntie will still want to drain your pockets dry.
