You can have a telly without a license......all it needs to be is not conencted to an aerial, and no channels tuned in  :y

thus being used as a monitor.  the fact it has an unused tuner gets around it.

would be better calling it a tuner license, as the screen bit is immeterial.

from reading up on it, one thing is for certain, you WILL get checked up on  >:(

Well on Heartbeat they were in Australia, and we saw plenty of a 1960s Ford convertible (if that's what they were called in Aussie land then!).  Lovely example. 8-) 8-) 8-) ;)

Missed the British classics though! :'( :'( :'(

What was on Car Show? :-? :-?

Thats a very sticky wicket.....as the TV has a receiver and the receiver will be operable whilst the set is on....

Remember the detector vans use the colour oscillator signature from the receiver to determine if the TV is on and receiving....how are you going to prove you were not receiving and viewing TV.

hecne you WILL get checked up on....


I'll dig out the details on what is aloud.

but if it is not tuned in, and not conencted to an aerial, you have a good case.

From the horses mouth....


What if I only use a TV to watch videos/DVDs/as a monitor for my games console? Do I still need a licence?
You do not need a TV Licence if you only use your TV to watch videos and DVDs or as a monitor for your games console.

However, please notify us in writing that this is the case. One of our Enforcement Officers may visit you to confirm that you do not need a licence.

Please write to us including your name, address and the reason you believe that you don't need a licence at:

TV Licensing
Bristol
BS98 1TL.

Yeh...get that one to stick.

This is what TV licensing state on their web site:

http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/information/index.jsp

"Do I need a TV Licence?
      
      -       
You must be covered by a valid TV Licence if you watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV. It makes no difference what equipment you use - whether it’s a laptop, PC, mobile phone, digital box, DVD recorder or a TV set - you still need a licence.

You do not need a TV Licence to view video clips on the internet, as long as what you are viewing is not being shown on TV at the same time as you are viewing it.

If you use a digital box with a hi-fi system, or another device that can only be used to produce sounds and can't display TV programmes, and you don't install or use any other TV receiving equipment, you don't need a TV Licence."
