Re: Fuck the BBC - fuck iPlayer
The last time I checked the commercial channels need a TV licence. That includes watching live sport on Amazon.
That 'live' is the important bit.
If you do not watch any live broadcasts and you don't watch anything on BBC iPlayer you do not need a TV license.
So if you take down or remove the cable from your aerials and satellite dishes and only use the catch-up services from ITV, Channel 4, Five etc. you are not obliged to pay the license fee.
I believe that in days of yore you had to pay if you owned equipment that was capable of receiving live TV broadcasts regardless of whether you did or not. To have solid grounds against CCJs people resorted to bunging up the aerial inputs with resin or unsoldering them.
