Dear [Cuntish Advert Here]....

nope. if you have a device that is capable of being tuned into television channels, you are supposed to pay the licence. unless that's changed very recently.

the best way to avoid paying the TV licence is to have a secret TV tuner card on your SUPER ENCRYPTED COMPUTER which will self destruct in a ball of fire if a TV detector van comes within 500 metres of it.

Crackhead is right.

Mate of mine had TV license guy out a couple of weeks ago. He came in & checked what he used TV for, and if he had an aerial connected, he seen it was just for the laptop and left.
 
I haven't seen any adverts for ages -- I have a PVR so I just record stuff and fast forward through the adverts. I hate adverts... especially since I have pretty awful taste in TV (Hollyoaks, X factor, *cringe*) the targeted ads at that time of day make me want to throw a brick though my computer.

I think that's right, but I think it counts as "not possible" to tune it if there is no aerial connected. I wouldn't know though, I've always paid my TV license.



lol at the desk wars! I work in an open plan office, and the guy with the adjoining desk will gradually spread documents across my desk. Every couple of weeks I'll shove them all back, then it starts again. I might tell him I'm going to set fire to them, see how that works out!

no way man. every single one and zero on your COMPANY'S SUPER-ENCRYPTED SUPERCOMPUTER with raw 386 PROCESSING POWER belongs to the COMPANY.

by your logic, having a key to your office (for example) means that you own everything in the office. come on man, face up to reality and stop living a lie.


btw: LOL @ your mole comment. ;)

Yeah go on then they own it for all its worth (and its a 286DX with a 25 way serial port mate), the real valuable stuff is in my head.......a kind of insurance policy, I'd hope I'd never have to cash in on but if times got tough ..well my morals might be stretched !

What if a TV Licence is not needed

No TV? Don't watch or record television programmes as they're being broadcast on any device? The law states that you need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch or record television programmes, on any device, as they're being shown on TV. This includes TVs, computers, mobile phones, games consoles, digital boxes and DVD/VHS recorders.

No TV Licence is needed if you don't use any of these devices to watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV - for example, if you use your TV only to watch DVDs or play video games, or you only watch programmes on your computer after they have been shown on TV. If this is the case, please let us know, as this helps us to keep our database up to date and means you won't receive the standard letters we send to unlicensed addresses.

OK, you were right and I was wrong/out of touch. :D
 
^^^

But they used to,when I were a lad etc etc .
I understand they used to be have equipment that would pick up the radiated signal from the tube coil....I'm guessung that wouldnt work for the new flat panels anyhow.
They have been replaced by the car tax evasion vans now wonder if its the same people TUPE and all that :)
 
Are you sure they didn't have a normal van with an impressive looking dish and a list of people who didn't have TV licenses?
 
Just dont answer the door.. Or if you do say you are the plumber/babysitter/decorator . or whatever I tend to opt for Ukranian house sitter and tell them ' no engklish'

Ive never had a tv licence.. I dont do bill/licence/debt collector whatever thingys eurghh..

whats wrong with you people!!?!!

I thought that, that I'd just fucking ignore them, then they were on my doorstep and all my clever plans went out the window and I just gave them a wide-eyed, wobbly-lipped "sure, come on in".
 
I've still had no reply from the cunts by the way =D
Aww.... Was looking forward to having a back-and-forth with the knobfaces.

I know I was right lol.

Also, TV detector vans don't exist. I suspect you probably know that though. Some folk still seem to think there's a wee dude charging about in a van detecting tellies haha.

Dunno if their was any vans involved but when i got my 1st council gaff, i had some bod , with a little hand held thing come round saying that they had detected a signal from my block of flats & could they come in n look at my T.V equipment, told em to gel on n quickly signed up for a licsense , which i pay every year despite being on benefits , but i do get my share of benefits so i don't mind.

Having done a little research it does all seem a little iffy to say the very least, it is certainly possible to detect an old style CRT TV from a reasonable distance but thats not really the question.

Even fairly recently they have continued claiming there use

http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2003/06_june/24/licensing_detector_vans.shtml

But apparently no one has ever been prosecuted on the basis of evidence from a detector of any sort, but then again there would be no need to do so, they have definitely used detection equipment in the past to locate Pirate radio but I doubt it was submitted in evidence.

It looks more likely they built the odd one so they could show it off on Tomorrows World !!!

I think its a given they no longer use them (if they ever did) these days, they just assume you have a TV and send you letters
 
Aye, they have a list of addresses that don't have TV licenses & just check up on them/send them letters. This was the same at least as far back as the mid 80's. My dad used to work on the Post Office counters & for overtime they could go out & chap cunts doors who were on the list. They never drove about in a wee detector van lol.
 
of course they fucking exist. here's a photo of one off of the internet:

there's no way the BBC would go to the expense of making a huge fake fleet of these things, complete with drivers. cos that would be a waste of the licence-payers' money.
 
What a mint job that would be, the TV squad. Out hunting down the dole scum to pay up before you cut their Corrie.
