    It doesn't matter if it is connected to an aerial and tuned to receive every TV station on the globe - if you do not use it (TV,recorder, etc etc) to "watch or record live programmes" you DO NOT need a licence.

    If the TVLA turn up on your doorstep, you do not have to speak to them, tell them to leave your property and they HAVE to !

    I agree - they are scum ! and I think the money I pay for my licence is quite good value.

    Not being cheeky, but why are sky charging you £73.50 a month? Their top package is £43.50 a month, well thats what it says HERE.

    Hubby has to have the max package, £43.50 basic + £10 for box in bedroom 1 + £10 for box in bedroom 2 + £10 for HDTV (high definition box), they are good enough to let us have the sky+ for free:rolleyes:
