Anyone used YOUTUBE TV ? Especially with a ROKU TV

Personally, i think the UK license fee should be scrapped with the BBC services being changed to Pay Per View. It's simply not fair to force someone to pay for services they don't wish to watch or need but hey; the government make a revenue from the BBC so that isn't going to happen soon. The BBC was seen internationally to be fair and just but that is far from the truth as we have seen in the past few years. With regards YouTube, if you don't wish to see those annoying adds without signing up simply use a VPN and point it to Albania, Nepal, or Myanmar.

You don't pay it if you do not watch live TV. So if you want the news today, legally you should pay. If you watch it on feedback the following, then free. Same with TV programs. Watching them on playback is Ok but of course you cannot record programs on playback. We will record programs to shoot the adverts. If we watch on playback then we can only mute the sound, or stop it from playing and then after the program has finished, shoot the adverts.
I'm always online using a VPN, so no problem there. My VPN is not available on Raspberry Pi but is on Chromebook & Windows. I'll give it a go when I have the time.

Here we have to pay an annual tax of about £180 to a government Quango, the BBC in order to legally watch live TV. This gives about 100 free FreeView channels. That cost I think that is more than enough for the rubbish they put out. If there is noting to watch, then we'll switch it off.

About the Youtube topic, by coincidence, I was thinking of linking a RaspberryPi4, or a Chromebook to the TV to watch films on Youtube, or others for free. ( I'll do without rather than pay for a streaming service.)

Has anyone done that?

I can always cast from YouTube to a smart tv, from my phone at any time
