Living without TV

[Vague_Boy]

you know you need a licence to watch "live" Iplayer programs ?

 

You know that Becky B didn't actually mention watching live streams? And yes we do know that you need a TV licence to watch live iPlayer streams. We know. We already know.

 

Getting back to the OP. Most TV today just doesn't interest me. There's precious little, even on iPlayer, worth my time.

I have a tv in most rooms of the house (some portable). And i never watch any of them for anything broadcast.

I just use them as monitors for the dvd or video.

 

Nothing worth watching anyway, total waste of my tv licence fee.

 

I buy a tv mag every week and skim through it. same old ,same old.

I can't live without food, air, or water. I wouldn't want to live without my wife. Everything else I can manage without.

 

 

This is true of everybody if they're forced to it - with the possible exception of my wife. I don't suppose that everybody in the world wants to live with my wife, and even if they did they're not getting the chance to.

 

I hope she reads this

 

the last bit.

The really inexplicable part is that she feels the same way about me.

I'm glad it was clear!! with iPlayer you're not tied to the timetable, I thought it was self-evident

You don't need a licence to do that, you know.

I hardly ever watch tv,now and again the news and maybe a couple of progs but tbh i wouldnt miss it if i didnt have one

You need a licence if the machinery is capable of picking up TV transmissions, even if you don't watch them.

 

If you have a non-receiving set, as in a DVD player or computer monitor, then you don't.

I have a TV but I have only turned it on about twice in the last couple of years, and then only to watch a dvd.

 

It is handy when my parents visit, it helps babysit them, I can leave them in front of it whilst I get on and do something.

If it's a TV and can function as a TV you need a licence, if it's monitor you don't.

 

But I assume you already knew that.
