What about a donation system? Like some channels here in the US have. That way, those who do like the service can pay and those who don't are free of the tax. Do you see that system working as an alternative to the BBC License fee?

Do those channels produce high quality TV?

My instinct is that it wouldn't bring in enough money to maintain quality, and that the incessant appeals for money would be as annoying as adverts.
