  • I am not watching tv nor iplayer anymore. Is there anything I need to consider when my current licence expires and I don’t want to renew it? Apart from the threatening letters every other week that is...

  • just go on their website and put in that you don't need a license and they won't bother you

    ha. hahaha. hahahahahaha.

    There's a thread for it over on yacf and the consensus is that it doesn't really matter what you do, they'll still call or write with a series of different threatening letters.

    If you don't watch telly and don't watch any TV or use iPlayer then just throw the letters away (although I'd probably read them first just to make sure they aren't something you can ignore). Fundamentally you don't need to pay for something you don't use if you really don't use it.

    Any accidental watching of iPlayer may trigger them to up their game if they can work out it's coming from you (Broadband providers can provide them details of which phyisical addresses had which IP addresses at a particular time).
