Its been widely report that and similar events happening. Often with people who don't speak English very well. They think they are signing they don't watch TV but they get misled. I always recommend never to sign anything and don't let them in your house. They will often use what you put on that form against you even if its to get a record of your name so they can target you for personalised threats.

I reckon that's rage bait, fake content.
Looks like it, it's the camera cuts and the zooming in and out it sort of seems odd.
Its all fake now. Barely have any interest in videos online.
Shame really.
But if she literally did have the BBC on TV I guess it's fair game?

Probably, but there’s plenty of dubious tactics employed by the goons, like when they pretend to be British Gas etc wanting to gain entry to catch people out.

nah coz "BBC on TV" might mean:
- watching bbc live right now (license needed)
- having the ability to receive live tv but never using it (license not needed)
- having iplayer open right now with live content (license needed)
- having iplayer open right now with on-demand content (license needed)
- having iplayer installed but not using it (license not needed)
so the guy and the woman might have different interpretations, as might anyone watching the video.
ambiguous language is straight out of tvl's playbook
I don't watch live TV or iplayer, so don't pay the licence. In the past 3 years I've only had letters. I had cards posted that said they stopped by whilst I've been home, but unless they're really soft knockers I never heard them at my door.
I guess owning and watching BBC programs on DVD or Netflix is fine though
Didn't he say she literally had BBC on the TV and she didn't deny it?
I mean if he means "you have a TV so you have BBC" or "I can literally see the BBC news playing right now" would need clarifying.
I assumed the latter!
Yeah on re-watch the whole conversation is a mess.

It's got the awkward pauses and confusing flow of a typical staged internet nonsense video. Semi scripted actors struggling to improvise convincingly.

Just lol if they think their scare tactics are going to stop people watching the Mike Tyson fight tomorrow night if they don't have a TV license.
Do they really think Netflix are really going to disclose who tuned in?

It bugs me there's no setting in streaming apps to turn off live content which would require a tv license, to stop them pushing stuff on you that would be illegal to watch.
