    You are refusing to answer a question which has repeatedly been asked here.

    People cant take you seriously when you refuse to answer a simple question notwithstanding your anti BBC biased and anybody that disagrees with you in your book must either work for BBC and pro BBC. Your comment that BBC are like the SS are a insult and frankly sick.

    You obviously come here to stir things up
    Now they all work together oh what a shocker.

    I can say the BBC would know if I was watching live feeds for over 21yrs because of the TV detector equipment. Why are you lot refusing to answer my question, does it exist yes or no?

    I think we all know what the answer is, it doesn't take a genius to work it out. His comments about SS are just random attacks as he has nothing a little more constructive to offer.

    Random attacks on who though. Seriously are you people that scared of the public criticising the BBC?

    As much as I detest paying for a TV licence

    Sounds very odd considering your other comments. You detest the TV Licence but hate people criticising it or its owner the BBC.

    I can't be the only one to find that strange, very strange

    I cannot speak for the licence dodgers who in all reality have no say on the matter. ;)

    The BBC has coined the term "evader" for them.

    Where did I state iplayer was with us 21 years ago. Its been with us many years around 5 I was mealy implying that you can get live tv without a tv set once again you twist things to suit your own any anti BBC biased.

    That would be breaking the law, you aren't going to tell people to do that are you :eek:


    Also the iplayer wasn't with us 21yrs ago doh

    You said "I can say the BBC would know if I was watching live feeds for over 21yrs because of the TV detector equipment"

    I replied with "You can watch live through iplayer as you well know The Safordian so afraid detectors vans dont always work"
  • You are refusing to answer a question which has repeatedly been asked here.

    I've not refused to answer anything. I'm pointing out what the BBC say is gospel. If someone is watching live TV they will find them via their equipment.......................unless you are suggesting the BBC could be lying??
    in your book must either work for BBC and pro BBC. Your comment that BBC are like the SS are a insult and frankly sick.

    Well to be fair its pretty easy to see if someone is pro BBC don't you think.
    You obviously come here to stir things up

    Hmm how do you work that one out. I'm not calling people silly names or going off-topic because someone doesn't agree with the BBC or its TV Licence and no one is forcing anyone to read or join in with this thread

    I'm pointing out I would only be able to access live feeds via the TV over that time period therefore according to the BBC I'd have been caught out by their detector equipment

    Yes I think he is trying to stir the pot a little.

    For example I have pretty much told him our discussion is over, yet he continues to post to me, so a little deluded with his insults.

    I love how he tries to claim abuse, reminding me about forum etiquette..:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Yet I am praying he reports my abusive posts, so the team can have a good laugh at him.

    Of course most of us have come across far worse Trolling than this one. Leave him to rant away to himself, he seems good at that. - JUST! ;)

    Says the two people who have spent an hour demanding someone answers them.

    You keep ignoring that my case is pointing out the BBC must be lying but you two keep stepping around that part

    If your discussion is not related to this thread you are trolling

    Instead of using this public thread as your personal PM system why not keep on topic instead of calling people troll, troll

    Perhaps you could mention that to bazster?

    As far as I am aware, detector vans relied on analogue TV signals, as digital signals cannot be detected against everything else digital, from the clock on your microwave to your mobile phone.

    Whether or not the BBC have since updated their detection equipment I am unsure but I have my doubts. On saying this, I am covered should they want to scan my house so it matters not to me whether they can or cannot detect digital channels.

    Just so we can get this straight are you saying that detector equipment is useless in front of all these pro BBC people?

    Well the BBC themselves admit its never been used in court so take a guess
