Don't think you need to preach this sort of prejudice
Oh, you mean you didn't know that they practise 'positive discrimination'?
It's called irony !
The bitch is that to use a TV in the UK you have to by law pay for this circus.
Incorrect - only 'Live' or 'Nearly Live' TV. Many people don't as they use I-player just to watch the stuff they want not all the other rubbish you correctly alluded to.
Incorrect. Any household equipped to receive TV broadcasts, requires a licence. Don't get one (and I've done it before) and expect your life to be made hell with bailiffs calling every other day, and so on.Travailes wrote:Incorrect - only 'Live' or 'Nearly Live' TV.

Sorry not sure where you are getting your information but this is wrong. You only need a TV license if you watch live or nearly live on a television 'set' (or programs recorded when they were broadcast). Include in this definition computers, mobiles etc. If you own a TV and use it solely for gaming, watching DVDs etc you can declare that you do not require a license. That will probably interest the revenue guys to pay a visit but it is true. That's why nearly 0.5M households in the UK have 'declared' they do not need a license.JR8 wrote:

They used to have a detector that looked for the IF (intermediate frequency) transmissions that all TV's gave off (parasitic noise as part of the superheterodyne circuitry). However I suspect that is much harder with a TV tuner etc all in a single IC now.Max Headroom wrote:I'm no techie but I doubt they spy for a tv by the way a tv emits flashing light. Rather, I think tv's give off a kind of radiation that they can detect with their detecto-meter thingy-bob I think it's called.
