On top of the £12/mo licence fee, we pay £49/mo for Sky TV (the main, Murdoch-owned premium TV service in the UK - cable is not so big here) with all channels except sport.
I'm just about to downgrade it to the minimum (but still keep Sky, terrestrial reception here is crap) but not for the reason all these examples provide. We've got a kid. And 99% of the time, the TV is stuck on CBeebies (the BBC's under 5's channel) so there's no need for all those other channels ;-) I never thought a kid would lead to lower expenditures in some areas..
