Im considering cancelling mine as I dont watch much live Tv but im worried I might press the wrong channel and watch something I need the licence for. Its quite confusing as it seems its more than just BBC you need the licence for.

Never had one. Never intend to

I refuse to pay for a channel I wont watch. I'm happy to forego the rest of live tv for it. The only thing I miss watching live is Football, so I just keep up with rhe scores online and then watch highlights.

Same.
BBC is biased leftie news and the whole corporation is just a junket for rah graduates.
Not had av licence for years and no intention of ever getting one.

Yes, about 10 years ago and don't miss it at all. The licence system is long overdue for change, can't believe it still exists really, or why anyone pays it.
