... is that TV Licensing cannot cope with the concept that you don't
need
a
licence when you don't have any TV apparatus.


i guess they dropped the bit on the old licences that if you watched on a
portable tv running on internal batteries then no licence was required?

they now mention computers and mobile phones, so it's no longer a licence to
watch something that actually recieves the signals i guess??

i my self never watch any bbc channels, utter ****e on them, i dont listen
to any radio at all, but i have to have a licence to watch the proggies on
sattelite i do watch (mostly the discovery type chanels) which i pay for in
my sky subscription, and are paid for them selves by adverts and ****ty
sponserships of the proggies etc.
