Hello Paul,

Why would ITV want to check we have a valid TV license,  the TV
license pays for BBC services,  I thought the advertising / commercial
aspect of ITV paid for those services.

So what?  A license is required whatever channel(s) you watch.  Where
the funds end up is irrelevant.



That is not correct. The licence fee goes to the BBC only. If you should have a set that does not accept the BBC channels you don't need a licence. The commercial channels get their money from adverts and other sources, but not from the licence fee. So it is irrelevant to them if you have a licence or not.
