The problem with that idea, V
is that you'd get all of the 'I don't have a television so why should I pay?' crowd bleating about it.

But that applies to plenty of things. I wouldn't expect to be able to withhold the part of my council tax that goes towards street lighting just because I lived on a farm, for example. (I don't live on a farm, by the way - it's just an example!)

So I agree with you, in principle. Convincing the great unwashed might take more effort though.
