National radio and public television over here just beg you for money, incessantly. If you want us to continue to afford fine shows like Downton Abbey, etc. I send a little coin their way from time to time.

I find black and white makes snooker so much more fun.

Ice House near me.
Thriving industry, like photography, dry cleaning, and horse-drawn transit. I want to see progress and change that doesn't eliminate jobs, if you please.
Otherwise, the government will have to tax peoples Tvs to get money !

I don't get letters or visits anymore since, around last Christmas, they finally found me home.
The flat was a bomb site, had new flooring fitted, the contents of 3 rooms in one, there was a kitchen sink in the hall, the tiler was working in the bathroom.
The tv inspectors knocked, made a funeral face " tv licensing here" like "so sorry you have been caught".
Well, I never have had a tv for years, so I showed them in no problems.
They hurriedly left after they tripped over the workman's tools, then the cat hissed at them.
Staring at an empty living room and at a room full of bikes they said "have you never had a tv then?" :laugh:
No more threatening letters since!
It lasts 2 years, then the letters start again.

I wouldn't assume anything. I can plug my TV Ariel any time I want. They can't get in without a warrant. Not really enforceable if people choose to watch and not pay.
I don't know if you are under the impression that disconnecting your aerial absolves you from the need for a licence, but it doesn't.

It does. You are not required to pay if you have Now TV for instance. And my television does not work unless you plug in an aerial...I checked!
As per TV licensing
" You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch or record programmes as they're being shown on TV or live on an online TV service. This is the case whether you use a TV, computer, tablet, mobile phone, games console, digital box, DVD/VHS recorder or any other device."
Only sport is live on Now TV.
