I think the law states that If you own equipment that Is capable of receiving live TV broadcasts you are required to buy a license,:confused::p:p

Here is a link to the TV licencing site with info on why you need a licence.
TV Licensing - Understanding your TV Licence
please DO NOT copy and paste sections from that site to this as they get jumpy and threaten to sue over copyright. ta

I don't think that you can just not pay your TV licence because you don't want to, if you genuinely don't agree sort out a proper protest, don't rely on the people who appear in Court for non payment who usually have more personal rather than political reasons for non payment.
I think you may be looking for a cause to protest against which you have not found. You can't rebel for the sake of it.

Thing wi these people, many ive met oer the years. I find em to be be "False Alarms" or "Well Off " but gone oer the edge in the main.:D Most of em can also talk a glass eye to sleep.:hehetable My remedy is to occasionaly poke wi stick (just fer my entertainment) but in the main, leave em too it.

Not true these days. If it ever was. Funny thing is. If that was true If you only own a computer without capture hardware; they could still accuse you of signing up to Tvcatcup.com or watching illegal live broadcasts/streams. :D

If you own a TV and only play DVDs, Watch BBiPlayer or other pre recorded media, play computers games... you don't need a TV licence. It even says it on the TV licence website.

But if you watch tv and don't pay your licence it's illegal and works out more expensive than if you just pay it in the first place.

Technically your meant to have a TV licence if you have any equipment including phones that you can watch TV programs on. That is what it says on the form for TV licence information!:rolleyes:

Chris has a computer. He thinks that not plugging an ariel in counts. He can watch live TV a number of ways. 1channel, tv catchup...using XBMC software.PS3, XBOX360...... list goes on and on. How can they prove a damn?

Lol I've not read the post again Restless, I would, but it would probably cause me some sort of pain, and I like to go gentle on myself these days.

I am a grammar nazi. I cannot help it sometimes, I am perhaps hypocritical because I am absolutely atrocious at mathematics. However this is why I tend to make use of a calculator.

I agree anarchic views are admirable, it's just that as you say, without being a total societial outcast and creating a more difficult life for yourself, it's difficult to be an anarchist to any sort of notable extent...And I struggle to find a middle ground with things such as TV licencing etc.

I think I am a slightly anarchic. But the reason I CAN be anarchic is due to luck, and due to circumstances beyond my control-and surely this makes me the opposite of an anarchist, my mutiny(partially) was cut out for me and I just went along with it!

As for the idiot box, I never had one when I had my own house , until I was bought one by my Mother. I never knew where the remote was and it got switched on about once a week when it suited me...

In the place I base my hat at now, there is one but it isn't even wired up...

I can watch things on the pc if I want to.I am quite hyperactive for want of a better word and the thought of sitting on my ass watching something somebody else decided was worthy of watch, doesn't appeal much, I'd rather do something fun, or useful...

TV Licensing - How to tell us you don't watch TV

Technically - means on the form issued by the TV licencing organisation! That you are not supposed to watch TV on any gizmo or computer - without a TV licence. Whether they catch you or not is a totally different matter. :D

Re: Licence's
 
Technically -There is'nt a law that requires any1 to have a tv licence,,,,i believe its all done by fear and contracts (They can only take action against you if let them take a statement) withdrawing their implied right of access(letter templates easily found) and then ignoring them and there junkmail can be effective, however it's only for the thick skinned (thats why i posted it here :D ) as they like to hound folk


Why Don't You...?: Series 10: Show 4: BBC Bristol: TXN 1979 - YouTube :D

TV licence visit - Hopefully an end to the harassment...? - YouTube
