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 advertisments pay for our TV over here but I am buying gatoraid, mountain dew, mcdonalds and stuff anyways. I buy the stuff I am going to buy anyways. I would rather a company spend $2 million dollars on a 30 second ad during the super bowl to fund TV for the next year than have 300 million people pay ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, MTV, A&E, AMC, TNT, TBS, USA, TNN, CN, NICK, CNN, MSN and the list goes on all $250 to watch their channel for a year. smurf THAT.
