FWIW, in metro areas there's free over-the-air TV, there's no license fees for that. In my metro area there's easily 80 or so OTA channels I can pick up for free. So one could argue TV in the US is actually £120 less than in the UK, from that perspective. Here you can own and watch TV without paying anything other than the upfront cost of the TV and a wire (the most basic form of antenna).

This would be more like paying for Sky TV subscription.

How much is your time worth? US TV has 16 minutes of advertisements per hour, while UK has 7, not counting the BBC channels, which do not have any.

I really don't watch much TV either way, as I agree advertising is atrocious these days.

Still, in US there's no TV license you have to pay like in the UK. So if you don't want to pay for TV service in the US, you don't have to. In UK, if you own a TV you pay for TV service, it's the law.
