Yeah the guy is an idiot, but even a broken clock tells the right time twice a day (a 12-hour one anyhow).

paying a licence fee for TV to the BBC is archaic and only serves to further fuel the paedophilic tendencies and urges that most of the pervert staff in that wretched organisation have.

They like to act tough and use scare tactics to frighten you, but the reality is, if you don't talk to them and refuse to let them in your house, there isn't much more they can do. How can they prove you are watching TV without entering your property and gathering evidence? They'll use their detector vans!! Oh wait... They don't exist!
I've recently moved property and like a lot of things, pay in advance, everyone else was able to refund me what I'd paid, even the council. But not TV licencing, they only refund in 3 month blocks apparently, as I pay quarterly I lost out on two months. Dreadful company.

Wow. Just, wow.
It does take something special to get so much wrong in such a short post.
I suspect he's read too much DM.
I wonder if they'll limit the number of devices per account.

Just use kodi and your sorted lol ... and without reading the new change - will that affect watching on demand for channels 3/4/5 ?
Urmmm....??!!!

Bloomin' Netflix have stopped the use of alternative DNS codes now so I can't get the American version

Unblock US still works with no problem. I was watching USA, Canada and Netherlands the last 2 days.

No they haven't. They've blocked a handful of the very popular ones. It takes about 2 seconds to find alternative dns which works.
It's not even a half hearted attempt to keep some people happy.

I think it's a good thing that they have recognised people watch TV differently now to how they did ten years ago, but I'm slightly concerned about how they will implement this... I don't have a TV license because I don't watch actual TV, but occasionally I'll hear about a BBC program I like the sound of and I'll go and watch it on iplayer. Am I freeloading? well yes, once a month I guess I am.
I have no problem with contributing to the cost of producing programs I watch, but if the method by which this is made an option is just to require a full £150 TV licence (or however much it is) then I'm obviously not going to pay it, and will therefore miss out on whatever it is I might watch once a month.
I'm hoping that a sort of 'pay as you go' option gets implemented, so that the amount I pay depends on how much I watch. However, I'm not expecting that's what they'll actually do.
Going to close this, let's use the new thread -
