@@Honda_Hooliganwhen you say live tv, does that mean an actual live aired show, such as a football game or news, or does it mean also a pre recorded show, such as a soap or documentary?
@@sicdoctor yes, live as in broadcast live, so that includes channels such as the +1 channels and live football matches shown on the likes of Amazon Prime. For anything else streamed (after the event) there is no requirement for a TV licence. The only exception is BBC iPlayer. For that you need a TV licence just to use it.
Yeah, no thanks. If you legally don't want to pay it, you don't have to already. You go round abolishing it and they'll just slap a tax on something else that won't be so easy to not pay. Not having watched live TV in about four years, I applaud the licence fee and wish it a long (and completely irrelevant, to me) life.
My last visit was 7yrs ago. It's now 14 yrs since I just ignored them and stopped paying them my money. I opened the door smiling like a nutter and dribbling.

@@paul-ie6wiSwitch the TV on, scroll to a channel that is not broadcasting live, don't use BBC I player and basically watch almost every channel on the tv.

Would that be correct?
@@paul-ie6wi It's not getting away with it as you put it. Do it legally, and just don't watch live TV or BBC I player. I cancelled years ago simply by stopping the direct debit payments.

No leave as it is. As it stands we can opt out, if they mess around, we will all end up paying via a broadband tax, council tax, Vat like France. This way as it is, is perfect.
You cannot do it any better than this 10 out of 10.. answer nothing give them no information at all. Get them to ID themselves first the be polite " no thanks" shut your door.. this was perfection well done mate..👍👍
I used to have an entrance form.. All they had to do was provide the info ….ie Name ,Address, Insurance Proof, strict purpose of visit. Then they could gain entry ….oh oops forgot, Plus an entrance fee of around about the same as their Licence Fee….lol GDPR compliance got a bit involved … lol
This is pretty much exactly what I did a few months back then got a letter a few weeks later saying we have been took off the list and wont hear anything for two years.
I received a letter from this government stealth tax office, saying that an enforcement officer will be visiting my home on the 5 of April. I phoned then that if one came knocking on my door. As they were not invited to my property. That I would be charging them twenty pounds per hour or part of that hour, as I’m living in Wales and Welsh is the language spoken by myself. I hope that they are able to communicate with me in that language
Do they pay a basic wage to these people ? If so,it'd be a great job for easy cash; I'd just fill in every report as "Not in " "Told me to eff off" whilst enjoying a coffee at Costa and not bothering to call on anyone! I'd get the sack in a month or so for not flogging any licences , but I'd have "earned" a few grand for it (or a dozen licence fees) and helped them go bust as well !!
For heaven's sake. When you think of all the jobs that need people chasing up people. People who haven't paid their CSA. People who haven't paid their debts, people who absconded or maybe didn't pay their fines. And the government spend a fortune equipping guys like this with computers and persecute someone who doesn't watch TV. It's not as if there's anything worth watching.
9/10 would have scored you 10/10 if you did not answer the door. No contact, no contract. One of their goons knocked on my door and i was expecting a delivery so i answered it, he asked if i was "Mr.Smith" so i asked him who he was and as soon as he produced his I.D. i simply closed the door. He then put a note through my letter slot saying that they had visited but i was not home !!!
Sneaky bar stewards aren’t they. Don’t press ring doorbell in fear of being recorded 😂 & trying to confirm owners details first 😂 Tell you what mate, F off 👍🏻
You admit nothing and they have no evidence and their hands are tied and this law is almost unenforceable. As Recession grips the world, even LESS will pay the fee or open their door.
Im not BS I have never paid the peedo BBC licence in all my life and I have never ( apart from when I had my own house ) filled the census in ! That's why my TV licence letters always say TO THE OCCUPIER and when I tried to be garuntor for a loan for my son I was told that I don't exist on the national register so how do I get my pension then ?

That's the way to do it. I ditched my TV licence four years ago. Best thing I ever did.

You watch too much youtube, you won't get a penny from them.
A shocked a tv guy by asking him to show his traders license to prove he can’t sell a tv licence without one simply can’t it’s fraud
If I did there job would sit in cafe all day long wouldn't bother knocking on doors 😅
When Labour get in to power the TV license will be a mandatory fee and will probably added to the council tax.
Just don't answer they will soon get the message
Haven’t had any visits since this one 😂
That's EXACTLY how to deal with them.
That license scam is all part of the old boys network and there is no room for that now get rid of it

So what they are saying is if you have a video doorbell you have to have a tv license.
"I don't answer questions"
Just don't pay it. They can't force entry so just tell them to f**k off.
Is this what our Grandparents/Great Grandparents fought and died for?
Not had a tv licence for 12 years now🙂all you do is ring them up if you have a tv licence just say i would like 2 cancel my tv licence easy as that.

It's an unfair tax on the British people which forces you to fund the BBC which is an extreme far left pdf file enabling Corporation.
