1) If you have a TV license, why do you care so much?
2) If you begrudge paying your TV license, sell your TV, make a few quid and get a hobby. Problem solved.OnePoll - £12.40, Yougov - £1.00, VO - £24.25, youdoo miles - 24292, MHF - £0.00
Not much, but its a start :rotfl:

Sky is more expensive, but you do not have to purchase it. To watch Sky (Or Setanta for that) one has to pay Crapita the TV Tax.
But you may well be paying for ITV, C4, Five, Sky if your newspaper happens to run adverts on those TV channels.
It's quite funny that most people who are anti-license fee choose to totally ignore this stealth license fee. Then they wonder why governments like stealth taxes so much (stealth means hiding the tax a £100+ bill for a TV license isn't even remotely stealthy)."One thing that is different, and has changed here, is the self-absorption, not just greed. Everybody is in a hurry now and there is a 'the rules don't apply to me' sort of thing." - Bill Bryson0 -
They object because they think the goverment will build a file on them.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

I can understand them taking details for buying things like a TV, but not for a Freeview box, for surely you need a TV for the freeview box to work. Same thing with a DVD player...which if you are only watching DVD's and using consoles, as I do, you don't need a TV license. You only need it if you are watching or recording programes as they are being broadcast.
I ignor the letters from TV Licencing, and when they come around I will be quite happy to show them my TV!0 -

e.g. our Tv licence fees pay for 'Hole in the wall' with Dale Winton.
