TV Licensing

[White Noise]

Ok people we are self employed and work ..... silly hrs 60 / 70 are normal per week .

 

I ain't got time to watch the crap that these Muppet's put out on the telly ?

 

I received a knock on my door this evening by a guy with a clip board .... struggling to speak English ?

 

Telling me that my TV license has expired ?

 

----------------------------------------------------

 

So I reply with yes it probably has ....... I /we work full-time and ain't got the energy to even watch general TV of an evening .

 

He reply's with ...... let me into your home so I can validate this ? him being very pushy .

 

-----------------------------------------------------

 

Flip side of the coin is that I now enter the conversation and take over from my good lady ... after my hot bath and this door knockers crap I,m like raging .

 

So if anybody could enlighten me on these matters it would be very much appreciated . Thanks Paul

Our old license expired August 2015 . Although I / we do not watch telly mainly downloads and dvds ? What is the law ? Thanks all .

Go out tomorrow and get the licence.

If you've got a telly, you need a license. That's about it.

 

I'm pretty sure he needs a court order to gain access to your house, unless you let him in.

BULL CRAP SCAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By the sounds of it.

 

Where is / was his ID etc?

 

Sounds like he was wanting in to case your house for future burglaries!

 

Probably seen that you're a tree surgeon, so maybe wondering 'where' your gear maybe stored....

 

 

Surely you should have had a letter beforehand informing you of TV licence issue?

 

Also, I've read somewhere you don't need a TL if you only watch TV via 'catchup / iplayer' etc...??

 

But I think that 'loophole' maybe getting plugged soon.

Do you have the equipment ie aerial etc to recieve TV, If so them im afraid you require a license.

 

We didn't have TV for 5 years (pure bliss) and had no aerial just watched DVDs. they kept threating to come round to check but never did- usually they send a few reminder letters first.

Doesn't matter whether he watches it or not, if he's self employed, war hero or Oscar Schindler, if he can recieve the bbc he has to pay his tv licence.

Unless he lives in France of course!
