TV / television licensing MEGATHREAD


Recommended Posts

A tv licence ( Read licence as receipt for payment IT'S NOT A LICENCE) Its no more than a word! to make you think it is a requirement, just as paying for your food at ASDA. . !

 

If you don't watch LIVE TV DONT PAY!

 

They can NOT enter your home. They have the same power to enter your home as Stevie the window cleaner.

People like this get away with it because there is a few seconds delay from live tv.

dosx where does he says he set up the aerial or did you just add that? I might have missed it. the moment he tunes in then that would be receiving a live broadcast so of course he would be guilty. The man cant verify because he didnt check.

 

I was responding to someone else's query about whether you need a licence to just own a TV - you don't. If it's plugged in and tuned in, they could easily argue it is installed and therefore requires a licence.

Unless they have a warrant, in which case they do have the right to access your property, with or without Police escort, and examine your equipment.

Incorrect. You require a TV Licence to watch streaming live broadcasts regardless of any technical delay. This includes services like TV Catchup. It is illegal to watch TV Catchup without a valid licence in place.

Dosxuk is entirely correct in what he says.

 

It doesn't matter if the stream is live, nearly live or whatever. What matters is that it is broadcast. The offence is to install and or use equipment to receive a broadcast signal.

 

Something like 4oD or watching the headlines clips on the BBC News page is not a broadcast - it's an "on demand" service. However if you watched the rolling headlines from the BBC webpage that trail the TV signal by a few scant sections, then that is a broadcast and you need a licence for it.

Am I not right in thinking that failure to pay a TV licence is a civil matter and not a criminal one?

 

This has (I believe) two implications to you;

 

1) They do not need to prove your guilt "beyond reasonable doubt" but "by weight of evidence". I would say that the signed statement would be enough, obviously dependent on what you said at the time.

 

2) I don't think it will show up on the DBS check as it is a civil, not a criminal, matter.

 

 

What are the dates that they say you are in arrears?

 

Nope you are wrong. It is a criminal matter at the moment, so the rest is wrong as well.

You are mistaking the TV Catchup website, which only broadcasts live streams and requires a licence to watch, with the generic term "catch up TV", which refers to on demand services, and does not require a licence to view.
