Erm, if you feel that strongly OP, could you not just do away with the telly?

Or pay the £11 per month and keep it...

Nearly live tv.

That's an interesting concept.

Probably covers pausing live TV and setting it playing a few seconds after

It's a tax. watch live tv, you have to pay the tax.

TV LICENSE FEE


If the take me to court, how can I legally challenge this. Is the court of Human Rights willing to take this onboard.

Which of your Universal or European Human Rights relate to watching television without paying for a licence, exactly?

Example of letter from tv licensing you would be obliged to reply to? Go!

OP, no-one is going to force you to buy a licence or have any contact with tv licensing. It's up to you what you do, people every day breach the law and hope not to get caught, there are certain things that it's only a matter of time before you're caught and other things where you need to be pretty stupid or admit your crime to get caught. Unfortunately, after making a quick judgement I think you're best off not risking it.

Or things like Iplayer live which have an automatic buffer of a few seconds.

Although the pausing at your end would be covered under "live", as your device is receiving it live to be able to pause it:p


Mind you the op is slightly misguided in a few of his statements, for example the Jonathon Ross one - he's taken the DM tale hook line and sinker (JR's production company was paid for hundreds of hours of content per year, JR himself took any wage from that but also had to pay for every expense in the shows*), likewise the wage of the chief execs - anyone competent to run a major company or organisation tends to be of a certain calibre with a certain level of proven experience behind them, and thus to get them to take the job you have to pay something close to the wage people in that position can get from other companies.

And it's always fun to note that the DG of the BBC is paid (much less) than any of his contempories in smaller companies including the DM, ITV, C4, C5 let alone the Sky guys.



*And in TV terms that deal worked out that the BBC were getting very good value for money (approximately 6 million a year for something like 100 hours of TV, plus all the radio work and smaller projects), if the £18 million sum was even close to correct.
