You do not need a licence for your business premises if the TV equipment is never used to receive or record television programme services, but is only used for closed circuit monitoring or to watch pre-recorded videos."
I thinky Monty said something about you couldn't be self sufficient in this country in an average plot. He's right. No bananas, pineapples, no chocolate, no coffee, no tea.
He also said that home grown produce in season tastes better. I don't disagree with that.
I read an article last week, some journalist was only buying local.
He included chocolate made by some artisan up the road. Unfortunately the cocoa beans were probably grown in the same place as Cadburys. Whatever happened to Education.?
Licensing people don't believe you. Hubby had no TV in his old house. He wasn't there most of the time. He told them repeatedly he didn't have a telly. Still the demands kept on coming.
I prefer to watch programmes where the presenter voices an opinion, particularly when I agree with it.
If you want to watch a programme where, according to the presenters, all plants are stunningly beautiful; need no maintenance; never die and are amazing value, watch the shopping channels.
So if you don't, you don't need a license. Simples.
Really annoyed that the BBC didn't switch to a pay per view model a long time back. Having to pay the tax when watching other commercial stations (not the Beeb) is wholly unfair.
There was some promise of digitising archives for free exchange, but that plan failed, after sucking in loads of cash.
Now they have the cheek to charge for downloads (buy this) even for license funded content. And there is no assurance that your bought download buys you the rights to future downloads in different formats. Poor. And most of the content is twaddle.
I like Monty and the dogs though. And big up to Carol's enthusiasm.
DHR, Most people just switch off a programme which they dislike and don't write cynical epistles about his/her views. Life is too short and who is interested. . . .

I don't have a functioning TV.
The licencing people seemed happy enough with that although the surprise in their voices was comical.

I linked to a business section of the licensing website, but it clearly states now:
"You need a TV Licence if you watch or record live TV on any device."

I'm quite interested
I usually watch 3 or 4 programmes at a time. It drives my husband bonkers - which is a bonus.
