if you don't like it keep out of it..
I thought this was general discussion and we could post what we like...... as long as it stays within the forum rules.....
I read on their site a while back it includes foreign networks, so even if you received only a foreign broadcast and had no UK coverage, so long as you're actually in the UK you would legally need to pay for a license, despite the fact it's got nothing to do with them
You need to be covered by a valid TV Licence if you watch or record TV as it's being broadcast. This includes the use of devices such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone or DVD/video recorder.
Yes as your box or what ever is receiving a live transmission.
By the time i have written this post in this thread, I will probably have earned the 40p that one days viewing would have cost me.
I watch a couple of documentaries or series per week, well worth the ~£3.00 in case something comes along that I really want to view live.
my 40p worth.

or
£0.40 * 365.242 = £146.0968
£146 I could have better spend elsewhere.
and those documentaries you watch can likely be watched ondemand somewhere even if it means using a vpn to fake being in America.
alternatively youtube has a massive collection of films, series , documentaries etc
some uploaded by channels such as 4od others uploaded by users and never taken down by youtube.
To be honest, if the police kept on sending me letters saying that I had possibly been involved in a crime, that's exactly what I would do.

Just claim that the TV signals are unsolicited goods.
This. Not sure why people get their knickers in a twist over it, unless they enjoy opening letters?
Edit: Also you need a licence for the Sky Go you watch.

You don't even need to open them, you just bin them with the other junk mail?

I am on my last warning now. The last letter was very threatening, it said that I will be going to court soon.

I had threats on my doorstep when I moved into my brand new house - wonder who told them it even existed.
I've previously been polite to TVL and informed them I don't require a license. They replied with "ppl always say that to get us off their backs so we don't believe it and we're coming to your house".
So I don't read their letters or talk to them anymore, what's the point.

Sounds serious, you should probably get some professional advice from here: http://www.horoscope.com/
Exactly OP, why are you even opening the letters? If it's from tv licencing and you don't have/need one then throw it in the bin...
It is a particularly nasty letter though!
I keep all my letters as evidence of their continual harassment should they ever wish to take me to Court.
This little pile has about tripled in size from when this pic was taken:
Must be well over £145.50 worth of letters they've sent now.

You actually can't incriminate yourself without, well, incriminating yourself.
They have this form that you have to fill in and sign before they can actually take any legal action against you.
Anyone who has had legal action taken against them is purely down to the form they willingly filled in after it was given to them by the door step collectors basically.
You can have a live TV feed to your house, you can even have all the channels tuned in, you only need a TV license if you actually watch the broadcasts as they're being broadcast.
