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.

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? :-? :-?

You can see it for yourself on Iplayer Lizzie - just checked and it is there

Thanks Gareth!

Yeh...get that one to stick.

You will end up in front of 'the beak' and hopefuly that he got out of bed the right side in the morning!

This is what TV licensing state on their web site:

"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."

TBH I resent having to pay a TV Licence to the BBC as I cannot watch anything unless it runs through my Sky box, hence BBC getting paid teice

But then....... If it keeps Top Gear going

You are only paying the BBC once
