lol tvlicensing

We were having a discussion about this subject at work yesterday. One old bloke said that even if you disconnect/remove the aerial and just watch dvds etc. you'd still need a license because the tv has a tuner and therefore can still receive signals. He then finished by saying "I know the TV license law because I used to work at Dixons". It took a lot of effort to not burst out laughing.
 
I've had no issues. Wrote a letter explaining that I watch no TV whatsoever and had no hassle from them. I get a yearly letter reminding me to notify them if the circumstance change, but nothing beyond that.

Indeed. Most of the YouTube folks seem to avoid paying for the lulz.
 
I avoid paying because I don't have a tv. But I don't think i should have to sign up to the bbc tv license database just to prevent from being harassed and having my house searched every second week. I also like to waste the BBC time as they like to waste mine.
 
Are you legally allowed to listen to the radio channels broadcast on terrestrial without a TV license?

They don't my letters say "the occupier" the last one said someone would be coming around he can come in if he does but he's not getting my name or looking at my browsing history which is non of his business
 
He wouldn't be asking to look at your browsing history anyway, you're ridiculously paranoid about the whole situation frankly.
