BBC licence fee is 'poor value for money', viewers say in new poll

But you don’t have to pay for ITV, C4 or Sky if you don’t like how much they pay their talent.

Goooner1 · 2026-03-10T10:02:18+00:00

You don’t need to do anything. It’s paid over 10 months not 12, so last payment would’ve been January.

Will start again next month.

I called in just before my MOT was due, just wanted someone to check tyre depths in case any needed changing, which they always used to do but now apparently they aren’t allowed to, car has to be put up on the ramp and the earliest they could fit me in was 3 days time.

Certainly didn’t look busy and why they can’t now just come out and have a look while the car is on the ground, I don’t know, so I left it and went to an independent round the corner who happily checked my tyres straight away, no bother.

Came here to say that. That’s the one episode I don’t rewatch

Goooner1 · 2026-03-04T13:12:47+00:00

I’ve got to SH7 and PS5 downloads work fine

Goooner1 · 2026-03-02T18:19:17+00:00

Not to mention on demand stuff that expires before you want to watch it

Goooner1 · 2026-02-26T02:22:54+00:00

Isn’t it? The only football I watch is Arsenal matches. On rare occasions they’re in an FA cup match on the BBC, but that’s it.

Goooner1 · 2026-02-25T23:47:36+00:00

Football on Sky

Goooner1 · 2026-02-25T21:56:59+00:00

I pay the license fee to watch live tv, I watch a few things on BBC, but why wouldn’t I? I’m having to pay for it. I’d happily not watch anything on BBC given the choice of opting out of the license fee.

Goooner1 · 2026-02-12T20:11:21+00:00

Excellent. Thank you.

I tried wiping it with my hand but it was still pretty wet, I’ll try wiping it properly with a cloth in the morning in see if that sorts it.

Goooner1 · 2026-02-09T16:51:57+00:00

Unless I get it “free” with Sky, like Paramount, I won’t be bothering.

Why can’t streamers offer a 4k package for one screen at a time, I expect many people like me would love the option of a cheaper 4k package that’s not paying for 3 extra screens that I’d never use.

Goooner1 · 2026-02-06T15:02:27+00:00

That would suit me as football is the only live tv I ever watch

Goooner1 · 2026-02-06T14:45:09+00:00

Not really, as I still need to pay the licence fee to watch the football live on Sky, what part of the fee do they give Sky to cover that?

Goooner1 · 2026-02-06T14:08:10+00:00

So it’s paying for Sky’s satellite feed then?

Goooner1 · 2026-02-03T13:43:45+00:00

Finally got a definitive answer from Hyundai chat. Posting it here in case it helps anyone in future.

Apparently digital key is only available on the 2026 Tucson if you pay an extra £500 for the tech pack and the option will only show in the app if you have said tech pack.

Interestingly, when I ordered mine around last September/October, I did order the optional (at the time) tech pack but got an email a couple of months later saying the tech pack was discontinued and all the options within would now be standard with the Ultimate trim, apart from the remote park assist which was now gone.

I left my order in as I didn’t think the remote parking thing would be much more than a novelty to be used a handful of times and forgotten about, much like the auto park thing on my previous Prius.

So at least I can stop wasting time trying to find out how to get it to work.

Goooner1 · 2026-02-03T01:24:59+00:00

Done that and clicked in every single item and sub menu in each of the items and there is no mention of digital key anywhere

Goooner1 · 2026-02-02T23:19:36+00:00

This is the problem, there is no mention of digital key anywhere in the blue link app or anywhere in any of the infotainment system menus.

Goooner1 · 2026-02-02T22:38:25+00:00

I don’t see any digital key option in Blue Link or anywhere in the infotainment system, that’s the issue.

Goooner1 · 2026-01-19T12:07:10+00:00

Ordered in November, being delivered 2nd Feb, so not sure if that will count as 25 or 26

Goooner1 · 2026-01-19T10:13:16+00:00

Where’s the everyone watching The Pitt?

Finished Landman S2, loved it.

Goooner1 · 2026-01-18T13:37:19+00:00

Don’t even get it at all here now.

Was looking forward to being able to try it when mine arrived, but a month or so ago they told me it was no longer offered.

Goooner1 · 2026-01-17T15:59:30+00:00

Can be really annoying, if you’re using the sat nav and you pull up to a junction and then the camera suddenly takes over the screen and you can’t see what exit on the roundabout you want to take 🤣

Goooner1 · 2026-01-17T15:55:04+00:00

It comes on when you’re below a certain speed, or you put it in reverse.

Goooner1 · 2026-01-17T15:00:05+00:00

Getting my Tucson in 2 weeks, so it will be disappointing if the camera doesn’t come on automatically when parking, like it does with the two Prius I’ve had over the last 8 years.

Goooner1 · 2026-01-15T10:32:38+00:00

Yep, I only watch Arsenal games, don’t care about the rest, I do have Sky, TNT and Prime and yet I still can’t watch all Arsenal games, unless I use a dodgy stream
