You know if you are sick of the BBC bias that there's something you can do that REALLY hurts them right?
Stop paying for the TV license. That money goes directly to supporting the BBC. Just stop paying them your money which they use to make propaganda against you.
If you want to stop paying you may not watch or record any live broadcast TV on any channel on any device in your home. You also may not use the BBC iPlayer service in any way.
If you want to try and make the process smoother you can formally let them know that you don't need a TV license any more, but it doesn't make much difference, and you are under no legal obligation to do so.
What you CAN'T do if you don't have a TV license:
You can't watch or record BBC or any other live broadcast TV on ANY channel. e.g. ITV
You can't watch or record live TV on say Sky because that's live broadcast TV. Even though you pay for Sky, it's still live broadcast so you need a TV license.
You can't watch BBC iPlayer under any circumstance.
What you CAN do if you don't have a TV license:
Watch on demand shows and movies on any service like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Now TV ( but NOT iPlayer ). Basically any streaming service where the show doesn't have a schedule, and it starts when you click play. You may NOT watch live broadcasts on these services.
Also videos on the internet like you tube are fine. As long as they are not being broadcast live. So for instance you couldn't watch KJK broacast her protests while they were streaming live, but once the stream has stopped you can now watch it becuase it's no longer live. Watch the day after if you really want to cover your butt.
You can listen to the radio including BBC stations without a TV license.
You can visit the BBC website to say read the news or look at the weather forecast. You just can's use BBC iPlayer website.
What will happen if you do this:
The BBC sub contracts to companies like Crapita to go after TV license non payers. They take the attitude everyone needs a TV license - an assumption of guilt which seems contrary to the legal assumption of innocence.
They will send you no end of stupid threating letters. I get at least one every month. These letters escallate in how urgent and scary they are borderline threatening you will all sorts of consequences. The truth is they are just trying to scare you into paying up. You can safely ignore them. Every so often the letters get to the end of the scary track and reset back to the beginning again. I have a stack a foot tall of these bloody things.
When the electric or gas man comes to read the meter they will pay attention to if you have a TV on watching live TV. They also do the TV licensing, so if they see you watching TV they will come back with their TV licensing badge another time and they will know you have been watching live TV. Don't cheat. They will have you.
Do not cheat. Do not cancel your TV license and then watch TV. Make a stand for your rights and stick to it. It's surprisingly easy to get over. When we cancelled it took me 3 days to get over the TV not being on anymore. There's a huge variety of legal alternatives out there. You'll no longer be paying the BBC money to waste on propaganda. Choose to make a stand and do it properly. You'll discover how many amazing and legal alternatives there are to the BBC. Your own money won't be used against you any more. Help get rid of their bias. The amount of people already not paying the license fee is a huge problem for the BBC. Every single person who cancels the TV license is making a huge difference. That's 3 Harry Potter games worth of fuck you to the BBC bias. Vote with your wallet.
