Obviously if it is abolished the BBC would have to source income from advertising or/and subscription.

Beeb isn’t perfect but it is massively better than other country’s offerings. The licensing system is a great asset to this country. You don’t have to pay if you don’t want to watch telly, but don’t bugger is up for those that do.

Or are you worried that not many people would?

Yes. If the poll tax wasn't fair neither is the BBC licence fee.

The objection to poll tax was it was against individuals not per property, whereas the licence is per property no matter how many live their. So I am confused as to which method you prefer or do you just object to all taxation (except presumably for the rich, as someone must pay for the public services)

I'll hold back on voting just yet. I Don't believe they should be paying massive salaries but use that money to invest in better programming and to get sport back on the BBC.
However I hate adverts and seeing how many adverts American tv has I do not want that here.
However, again I don't watch much tv anymore.

Don't care if it's abolished or not as I don't watch TV. However, I do believe that license evasion should be decriminalised and license inspectors should be reined-in, the current situation where Capita employees are not subject to background checks but are allowed to lawfully perv thru childrens bedroom windows is unacceptable. Either make license evasion a civil offense so investigators don't have a carte blanche to commit what would otherwise be an offense under Protection From Harassment Act 1997, or S3 of the act needs to go altogether.

Good god, things have changed an awful lot since I was a TV Licence Inspector...

I haven't had telly for about 10 years. I miss the snooker but one of the things I really hated was when they had history or wildlife programs and half the time the view was blocked by some horribly grim celebrity presenter like Tony Robinson or that Attenborough geyser. Yes a voice over is interesting but why surely the whole point of image based media is to get maximum exposure to the subject matter.
Why do the presenters, who are without fail awful wretches, get in the way??

I read somewhere that the BBC tried to shoe in some more PC bollocks (not a character name, haha!) but Shaun Evans told them he wasn't having any of it.
