TV License!

[anonymous-user]

In previous houses I have always paid my TV license, but having recently moved im wondering if i have to.

So we have virgin cable and as part of the package we do receive a live TV feed into the house. However, we do not watch live TV, ever! We only ever watch Netflix or not at all, as we work long hours. We have started receiving threatening letters now..

I resent having to pay out more money (despite it only being a few hundred quid) for something I do not use. I am guessing that because I have the ability to watch live TV, even if i dont watch it - I have to pay the license?

Not getting drawn into this - but since you ask, as nothing was proven by either party, and I wasn't accused of anything, no, not really.

Didn't mean to try and provoke anything. It just really winds me up, the whole TV licencing system.

This is what gets me. I have a few mates that pay it even though they don't watch live TV 'just in case' and 'its only £12 a month'. It bugs me so much. My girl friend is insisting on paying it because of the bullying letters.

If I did not have a live TV feed into my house I would not even question not paying it. But because of this I am going to call Virgin and see if they can de-activate the live feed.

If not, I will just pay the £145. Annoying, but hey!
