Tv Licence refund

Hello,
We moved into our new home in March 2018 and paid for a TV licence in full thinking we would get get an aerial. We never did get an aerial installed and haven't watched Iplayer - we just stick to netflix, nowtv and prime. My licence is due to run out in Feb 2019 but would I be entitled to a refund for the whole year? (I only recently realised we didn't actually need the licence!:mad:). I'm not sure how we'd prove that we haven't watched iplayer!

TV license lot try to screw you however they can, so I'd be surprised if they actually honoured a refund in this case. Like you say, it would be tricky to actually prove you hadn't watched iPlayer- even if you had records of every site you'd ever visited through your IP address, you could technically have worked around that and used a different IP address too0

As you say OP you have no evidence and why would they .
An airial or not is not proof of not watching live TV .0 -
Harder to prove you haven't than it is for them to prove you have. You still have a TV set and that is all you have to have for them to prove their case that you had the means to receive their service.0
