| Banned  | I had this in General Chat and for some reason it was moved here. Im going on about how the TV licence people are trying to get me to buy a TV licence when I use a TV, but can only watch DVDs on it, I cant get a signal to watch normal TV. This thread was asking people, mainly students if theyve ever incountered this before. Dont know why it was moved to the longue. |

| Cid's Knight  | OK, as an explanation for all you foreign folk, the BBC demands that everyone pays for a TV licence in order to fund its programming. This means that the BBC does not have any advertising, and instead has many pointless TV channels and radio stations. Most of them are crap because the BBC is wonderfully biased towards the government and/or minority groups (and recently admitted it) They claim they have "television detection" devices, but that's just bull, and there's plenty of stories like the ones ~SS~ told where they've accused people of having TV without a license, when they didn't even have a TV. No, you're not likely to get them to budge because you're a student, because they'll just tell you that's what your student loan is for. Anyway, someone I knew didn't have a TV license, and just refused to let them into his room when they came knocking, and they couldn't do anything about it. All they did was send him warning letters from then on. |

| | That is bull  . That means war to me. I would just refuse. They would have to prove that you use that TV to actually watch television. If they want you to pay to watch their programming then they should provided decoders to those who pay and encode their signal when it is put out through the airwaves. |
