"If you watch even 1 second later than programme is shown you dont need to pay a licence fee. Ditch it and use I player" As far as I was aware you had to pay the licence fee if you had equipment capable of watching tv shows. So tv, pc, laptop would all mean you have to pay it I think it's a rip off tbh. | |||

Its if its capable of watching or recording transmitted media you need a licence- if you want to just use iplayer etc to watch legacy media then you don't | |||

"I think the way we are viewing tv has changed dramatically. I normally watch catch up and view a few episodes at once. I was listening to the radio this morning which is what made me post my original question, sure there was no adverts, but the high amount of talking still meant no more music than any other station was played. " They have to pay royalties for every song played so can only play so many per hour to keep costs down | |||

"worth every penny and without it would be overrun by murdoch and his biased media empire, balanced jornalism and exceptional programme making. All the documentaries, drama series etc, I rarely watch ITV as its shocking!! Channel 4 has good comedy dramas etc and as for sky it has occasionally good content but most of that are american imports. Many great british actors get their breaks on the BBC and go on to do us proud all around the world. The UK without the BBC would be a very dark place!!" I think you'll find the BBC are as biased in their reporting as any other broadcaster, sometimes even more so. | |||

"The BBC is showing adverts, always advertising itself and not other commercial ventures, but advertisements none the less. As above if you don't watch it live you don't need a license, if going down this route you would be wise to remove any aerials and you cannot have Sky or Virgin etc. The inspectors that knock on your door have no right of entry so you can just ask them to leave your property, and if you look on youtube, once you start filming them the tend to disappear sharpish... Why? Because the scare tactics and bullying methods they use are not strictly legal is why... So if you where to carry on watching TV as normal without a license and then tell any TV inspectors to f**k off there really isn't a lot they can do to prove that you are watching live TV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfHRhXW1hno" If TV Licensing believes you're watching "live TV" without a licence, enquiry officers may pay you a visit. They don't have the power to enter your home without permission, but they can apply for a search warrant to enter if there are reasonable grounds to believe a household is watching TV illegally. | |||

"There are many people who have so little else going on their lives that they just couldn't bear to be without Eastenders or other such BBC tripe for the few minutes an advert break takes. Sad, really." same for silly reality shows that are always fix | |||

Do you work for tv licensing? How many warrants are actually issued? What is reasonable grounds to believe you are watching TV? Watch some of the many youtube videos on the subject and see how unsuccessful the inspectors are. If you do not let them into your property what are the reasonable ground for obtaining a warrant. The inspectors get paid by performance so they will be pressurising people to pay up. | |||

"If you have no TV, no laptop, no tablet you still have to pay because most smart phones can get it with a half decent connection!" Only if you are watching live broadcast TV on it - this also includes watching it on the internet at the same time as its being broadcast. Watching a programme via VoD services, Lovefilm, Netflix etc and that program is NOT being broadcast live over the air does NOT require a licence. There is a really good article over at Money Saving Expert on this, outlining all the rules about when and when you don't need a licence. Its the source of information I've been using as I have no affiliation, connection or otherwise to the TV Licensing authority | |||

"it doesn't just apply to watching live tv..it also applies to recording live tv. thus you can't watch just a second later because you are still watching a live broadcast.. you don't need a licence if you only watch catch up..iplayer 4od etc but they don't show till usually at least a day later. wouldn't bother me if bbc showed adverts. i almost always record and then fast forward.. except live sport..sport should be watched live.. unless it's highlights. " If something is shown on the internet 1 or 2 seconds after it was broadcast on 'live' tv then it is not live tv it is a delayed broadcast and you do not require a license. If you record live tv to watch it later you do require a license. | |||
