Lol, nothing much good on the TV any night, all you get is untruths and biased reporting from the BBC especially.
No wonder thousands of people are cancelling their licence.

I did that years ago. Even blocked all BBC channels on my telly. Was told it's illegal. So even to this day I don't watch the beeb yet have to pay them for the privilege. Totally bonkers. Just let them run ads like everyone else I say.

I see that they are really trying to fight back and scare folk into believing that they need to pay up for their licence even if you own ANY device such as a mobile phone for example. |

I blocked them using parental controls on Freeview, I don't have a dish or Sky or anything like that. So it appears I do NOT need a licence then. That video was very helpful and I'll be checking out the TV licence website.

i record everything i watch on freeview so i can skip adverts and watch when i want, but as i record live tv then i should have a licence. if i used an on demand service then i wouldn't and the chaps that may knock your door do not have a right of entry to your house without a warrent

Isn't their whole 'live' aspect to this a bit confusing/misleading?
From what I've heard, they mean that if a person is in the studio/pushing a button to air Eastenders for example then it's 'live' even though all the actors have gone home.Lol
And how they managed to include other channels like ITV in the first place is beyond me??

As long as people (in the government) are getting backhanders the license fee will always be there.
As you say they should run adverts to fund themselves. They don't even have a BBC one + 1 like other channels incase you miss something worth watching. (if that would ever happen )

Are there even that many LCs left in the world? 🤔 I am watching Blithe Spirit on Sky Movies and it’s pretty good so far. www.imdb.com/title/tt10334148/ |
