Reporting someone about having no TV LIcence?

Women often live with women. Only OP knows, who has long since gone.

Why so aggressive?

@Adelant

its nothing to boast about. You're watching at our expense.

@bellezarara

what are you on about?

they could be make for all you know.

FFS

It's not that people are idiots, but that threads are always including information that is incorrect but has been reported so often, that believe it to be true.

And yes, people should actually check out the TV licencing website and Gov. site but many, many people don't and MN and many MN posters are constantly telling the public and posters what a fantastic hive of education and information it is so incorrect info gets repeated and becomes fact when it isn't.

And also, you're correct you don't need a TV licence just for having a TV, but only if you use certain services but you do need one even if you don't have a TV at all but use those services from a laptop or even a 'phone or any device.

Because that's another myth perpetuated "I don't have a TV at all, just watch stuff on my 'phone or laptop so don't need a TV licence".

And yes, you're right it applies to BBC iplayer and watching live TV on any service but it also applies to recording live TV on any service to watch later. Because that's another myth "we don't watch live TV, DH records the footie on Sky to watch later so we don't need a TV licence" - TV licence still needed.

And also applies to watching anything live on YouTube, but not to pre-recorded videos. A lot of people think TV licencing doesn't apply to YouTube at all, but it does if you're watching "join us for a live q and a at 8pm" - TV licence needed.

My god so many idiots on this thread.
You don't need a TV license if you have a TV, you only need it if you watch live TV channels or BBC.
We have a TV but watch YouTube, Disney plus, amazon prime so don't need a license.
Also yabu it's none of your business.

Any feedback would be really very helpful

Don't be a dick.

Incorrect.

Lots of misunderstanding about what is covered by a TV licence, it isn't just the BBC, or certain channels, its needed to watch or record anything live on any channel or streaming service.

So e.g watching Sky news live, you need a TV licence. Watching a live steam on YouTube you need a TV licence, you don't need one to watch prerecorded videos on YouTube

Yeh right

Literally none of your business

Unless you’re reading their letters, how do you know?

This is a massive invasion of your housemates privacy.

Id say it’s far worse morally than “forgetting” to pay a TVL.

I don't see how you would benefit from it. It seems more likely to erupt into drama for you later down the line.

Yeah report them OP*
Then wait for the inevitable when they work out who the grass is.

*Don't do this at all

Why do you even care?

Not your problem - doesn't impact you. Ignore it.

OP is hoping to get some kind of reward from the rich BBC department.😆

Gawd, do you snoop at all their mail and make presumptions? 😩

I pay tv license in instalments on a payment card spread over the year so will regularly receive letters from them- initially with my payment plan, then to send me a Payment card and also letters reminding me to pay an instalment.

I got one yesterday. I have a license!

Good Lord no, first it's none, absolutely none of your business. Second it's outrageous of the BBC yo be able to charge multiple occupants in one property the landlord should have to pay one and factor it into his costs and third you don't know they are watching live television. Finally you could really upset people and in any communal living situation that's a very silly thing to do

YABVU. I also refuse to pay my TV licence, because the BBC produces such awful content and I don't see why I should subsidise their incompetence.

Surely the licensing authorities must already know that they have not got a licence??

You can have a TV and not have a license many people do And use if for net flix ,you tube etc
It's only if you watch live TV without a licence ,that you are " commiting an offence"

Are you certain the others need one? Have you seen them watching live TV or I-player? Also, are you certain they don't have one? There was a period when TV Licensing kept writing to me saying I didn't have a licence, until I eventually sent them a photocopy of it.

Even if you can be certain they are evading the licence, I don't think you should get involved. I have a TV Licence but I don't agree with TV Licences; it's a case where the law is morally wrong in my opinion, and while I will obey laws that are morally wrong because I don't want the consequences of disobeying them, I won't assist with their enforcement on others.

If you think the licence fee or its method of collection is wrong or outdated, that is different from condoning a form of theft, which it is if the people concerned have a tv.

*How do you think the production & broadcast of BBC Radio is paid for? By fairies?

Don’t be so silly* 🤣

Why are you doing a crying with laughter face about that! It's the BBC who say you don't need a TV licence to listen to the radio.

You don't want my feedback, honestly.

There’s more than 5 of those
