Did you not actually read the article then? The "TV Tax" (sic) only pays for the programme to be shown on the BBC a set number of times. (This is sometimes a lot but mostly just the once or twice.)

After that, the rights revert back to the indy company that made it for them to sell on to either another channel (ie Sky, UKTV, Paramount, etc.) or sell on DVD, etc.

So your reasoning is completely and utterly incorrect. It was also described (and right derided!) in the article.
