TV Licence

[AlwaysAway2]

Is the law the same as it used to be.
If you don't have a television you don't need to pay.
If so I'm getting rid of the TV.
I can have a monitor for Sky etc.

If you watch any live tv (incl Sky) on any device (incl a monitor) then you need a tv licence,

If you own any device - including a computer - capable of receiving a live TV signal then you need a licence. Some people were getting round it by not owning a TV and then watching catch-up on their computers, so the BBC started checking on people watching the iPlayer.

This is wrong, it has nothing to do with the device capability to receive a live signal. Here is the official guidance:

You don’t need a TV Licence if you or anyone at this address:
never watch or record programmes on any channel as they’re being shown on TV or live on an online TV service, and
never download or watch BBC programmes on iPlayer – live, catch up or on demand.

This could be on any device, including a TV, desktop computer, laptop, mobile phone, tablet, games console, digital box or DVD/VHS recorder.

And why is it everyone who seems to hate the bbc are the same people who are pro brexit, deny climate change, love trump etc? It's almost as if certain people are all affected by the same propaganda.

The same people that have been made by the BBC etc. If it wasn't for the BBC, Farage wouldn't be a thing.

And they helped climate change deniers too, by getting on one person from each side of the argument for balance. Normally it was Nigel Lawson (that known environmental expert) on the denial side.

We've got an environmental scientist, who's studied all his life on the subject, and let's be honest, is a little dry.

On the opposite side, we've got Ben Shapiro. https://twitter.com/OwenJones84/stat...80309671747585
