I have been charged by the council since August 1 2004 when the charge was 30p a week or �15.60 per year.
It is now in 2009 67p per week or �35.88 per year. Now if it's to be 70p per week then my bill will only go up 3p or will it be 67p plus 70p =�1.37p?
And the aerial will only get the digital signals you will still need a digital box or a modern TV with built in digital box.
When the charge first came in 2004 I phoned other London boroughs and found none at the time that charged I also got on to watchdog (BBC) and they could not find any other boroughs in London that charged.
