HandyBob Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I like many more of you out there would like to have a moan about the cost of a coloured TV Licence. I had a remind come though the post the other day I could not belive it, £145.50p for the rubbish that is on TV, this is NOT vaule for money. Also there was a booklet with the remind, that informed that you need a TV Licence for : *TV Set, *Digital Box, *DVD/VHS Recorder....right I know you will know that but also on the list was :MOBILE PHONE, *COMPUTER, *GAMES CONSOLE ....how many of you didn't know that and could be breaking the law. What's next will you need a TV Licence of a car Sat Nav, or a kiddies toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rudeboy Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 From tv licensing website: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InigoMontoya Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Then bring in a radio licence separately and I'll pay it gladly. But as long as I don't have a telly, I will not buy a TV licence. Despite the BBC's despicable attempts at entrapment by putting live TV feeds onto their websites without my prior consent. I haven't fallen for it yet, and have no intention of so doing in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Place a double way mirror in front of the TV, you can no longer watch TV live as it is being broadcast, as you have to wait for the light transfer to take place with your cloaking device. You just save yourself £145.50 ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddycoffee Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Just get rid of your TV and never watch it or pay the TV tax again. Believe me you will never look back. My quality of life and my energy levels went up when I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and it's much appreciated. Just get rid of your TV and never watch it or pay the TV tax again. Believe me you will never look back. My quality of life and my energy levels went up when I did it. I did this in 2007. Wish I'd done it 10 years earlier. I must have saved nigh on £600 into the bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
