More to the point, since the fees cannot be legally claimed, why pay? The programming here is such garbage anyway.

I think NHK is actually really good programming-wise. It's the commercial networks that are >90% crap.

NHK is so good I refuse to pay their licensing fees. A bit like a 5 foot kid at grammar school being seen as tall. Still a kid. Still awful TV. Unless reporting news counts
