OT: "Do I need a TV licence"

[Mary Fisher]

Oh yes, please (thinking of another post )

That is not the point, if you want a non licensable 'set' then you need to buy a monitor (or pay to have the turner disabled [1]).

[1] assuming that you can't do the work yourself.

[:::Jerry::::]

No you are.

[:::Jerry::::]

Why, if you don't use the equipment to receive....

[:::Jerry::::]

So you would prefer to have wall to wall adverts and the $ky subscription costs - you pay how ever it is funded - at least the BBC don't have to pander to 'sponsors' wishes....

Ok, you have an Ox cart. The best place to change it's direction is at natural junctions in the road. Once you have made the turn the thing pretty well carries on following that direction on it's own?

However, the junctions can also be dangerous, like if you take the turning to 'The cliffs' ... or be hit by another cart going across your path.

Better?

All the best ..

Yeah, but he probably got a glimpse of all the dead animals hanging in yer porch and you in yer Viking gear and thought better of it!

Meaning of "television receiver" 9. - (1) In Part 4 of the Act (licensing of TV reception), "television receiver" means any apparatus installed or used for the purpose of receiving (whether by means of wireless telegraphy or otherwise) any television programme service, whether or not it is installed or used for any other purpose.

Quite, they will come and inspect that the set in incapable of receiving.

[:::Jerry::::]

I suggest you read the said act and stop giving out IMM style miss information....

But why even on the 'layman's web site' would the suggestion be that if you don't intend using the set as a broadcast receiver (even though it may be abe) that you *don't* need a licence? (I don't know / suggest the answer here just wondered why they would suggest you didn't for DVD viewing when in fact your 'evidence' says you *must* etc?)

My head hurts .. ;-(

Ok, You are launching a new product and pop down the road and buy an integrated TV / Video to display a rolling video in reception. After this presentation you intend raffleing the set to the employees (to take home) and to give to money to charity.

TV licencing are given the address of your company by the shop.

What should you do .. ?

All the best ..

However I beleive the RF and IF stages are detectable even if not tuned in. It would be very easy to do in 99% of sets.

However if you are sure that simply having no aerial nearby and not tuning the set in counts then I guess your way is better.

[Ed Sirett]

I rewired my tenants $ky dish to my house after they went and then found the rest of the family wanted subscriptions to this and that (what a Trojan horse).

[Ed Sirett]

AIUI it is not only about whether you use it but that you have a set capable of receiving signals installed.

Our porch is south facing and unsuitable for hanging game. They go in the pantry. There weren't any in May - wrong time of year.

Mind you, the water chap came on Thursday and I had move the hare and pheasant to let him see the meter. When I apologised he said it was not matter, he used to work in a slaughterhouse so was used to dead animals.

No - we were wearing period kit though, C20th.

a) Is that how you talk? Living in the inner city there are always plenty people around but none of them have an accent anything like that. They're mostly Caribbean or subcontinental, with a smattering of central and eastern European and Chinese.

b) We're not allowed to slaughter a goat.

You don't know much about the law do you?

Nor about us ...

Oh, by the way, our TV licence inspector was a clock enthusiast, we gave him the innards of a wall clock which Spouse can't make work. I must ring the chap to see if he's had any luck ...

[Mary Fisher]

I wish ...

Road?

Why do you put an apostrophe in the possessive 'its'?

No cliffs in Leeds. Well, there's Garforth Cliff but it's not what I'd call a cliff. Not like Flamborough.

No other ox carts in Leeds either ...

No. You'll have to try harder. But we're going out for dinner so I'll probably not see it. Fish fingers, I'm told, but I'm confident that they won't be Birds Eye, rather d-i-y ones with very special fish and possibly even a little caviar too .... must remember the Pol Roger.

We had pheasant last night, I have to prepare the jugged hare to have another day, can't leave it in the marinade for any longer.

Poor baby. You've been trying to think again haven't you!

Yes, that was hypothetical .. ;-)

Ok, 'track' ?

Because I can ? (But I'll try not to ..)

Yes, but that was hypothetical .. ;-)

Damn! ;-)

You are coming back though right?

Shame if they are AND bought from Tescoids?

rather d-i-y ones with very special fish

Can't be that 'special' (like it can talk or summat) else it would be a shame to eat it?

and possibly

I suppose if it was good enough for Winston Churchill ...

I thought it had been in there a while now ..

Well, depends on whether you read the Site or the Act :-)

From the Act: "any apparatus installed or used for the purpose of receiving... ... whether or not it is installed or used for any other purpose."

Act uses Install referring to *capability* irrespective of your intent.

From the Website: "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 need to notify us in writing that this is the case and one our Enforcement Officers may need to visit you to confirm that you do not need a licence. "

Site uses Install referring to *intent* - since any TV still has *capability*.

Seems to me the site is badly worded - but the Act is the law.

I think that is very unfair on lathe operators...
