  • "I realise this is regurgitated from a press release from the UK TV Licensing, but I do not believe it.

    I do not own a TV and I am not registered with them as not having a TV and have not had a visit from their enforcers.
    Yet more scaremongering from the BBC's bully boys at Crapita.

    It's a queer law, because you can own a telly but you only come under the communications act 2003 if you watch telly as it's broadcast.
    So I could buffer it and watch it 2 minutes delayed and not come under the act.

    TV Licensing is a Trading Psudonym of the BBC, which is a private company. We should not have to pay them because they are, whatever they say, political. Just look at their website.

    I prefer not to have the cultural sewer of television in my house so let them come. They'll leave with flea in their well formed ears."

More than 400 people across the county caught dodging TV licence

MORE than 340 people in Hereford were caught watching TV without a licence during 2012, according to figures from TV Licensing reveal.

In Leominster more than 90 people were found not to have paid the licence, in results recorded from January 2012 until last month.

Mark Whitehouse, TV licensing spokesman for the West Midlands, said: “In order to be fair to the law-abiding majority who do pay for their licence, we’ll continue to pursue the small minority of people who do not pay.”

Failure to pay for a licence could result in prosecution and fines of up to £1,000.
