Generally interested do you just not pay your licence and suffer the threatening letters landing on the doorstep?
What happens if you do get a visit how do you deal with them?

Filled in the "don't need one" declaration. Probably online.What happens if you do get a visit how do you deal with them?
I only get a letter every few years asking to confirm I still don't need one. I confirm and it's radio silence again.
Only ever had one visit, shortly after I first said I didn't need one. Showed the guy the lack of a TV in the living room and never heard anything further. Did I "have" to? Probably not. Don't care. There's no TV.
I think some people like to get themselves worked up over the "why should I have to?" aspect of receiving letters about it, but I'm not bothered. I don't regard them as threatening.

How many people are not renewing their licence?
I rarely watch TV, let alone the bbc, so I'm wondering why bother paying something I could get all the subscription services for half the cost of the TVL
Really? I have Netflix and NowTV (entertainment and movies), and they cost me £55 per month.I rarely watch TV, let alone the bbc, so I'm wondering why bother paying something I could get all the subscription services for half the cost of the TVL
The TV licence is one of those things I just write off as reducing friction in my life. Pay it, forget it.
I don't intend to offend anyone, or sound like a dick, but it's less than 50p a day.

Not had one for years, i have deleted the iplayer app and tv isnt plugged into the wall, only used for netflix etc.What happens if you do get a visit how do you deal with them?
The letters go in the bin, if they want to waste money sending them, thats on them, im not bothering to tell them, they should assume i dont need one, i dont have to tell tesco when i go to asda, its just bully boy tactics.
Never had a visit in all those years, and i wouldnt open the door to them if they did. The BBC can FRO....
If they were serious about it they would make it subscription like all the other tv providers do, but they dont because they know very few would bother
Nope, gave it up years ago. Don't miss it at all. You can still watch everything via the catchup services anyway so it's just the BBC you can't watch, and there's very rarely anything on there I consider worth watching.
Did inform them I didn't need a licence but they still send the threatening letters, which I do a return to sender on. Had one visit at the beginning and just asked him to leave the property, which he did. He was rather aggressive and I've had a loathing for them ever since. I can see why so many vulnerable people get taken in by them.

Recalls way back when lived in a flat and genuinely did not have a TV the aggro when some wag in a post pub let's get some carry out and back to FiF's haze found one of the letters and without telling me filled it out and posted it the t
t."No I do not have a B&W TV it's more wood laminate and silver knobs" Not funny.

I agree its cheap if it has programs you watch, but if you dont watch them then its not.The TV licence is one of those things I just write off as reducing friction in my life. Pay it, forget it.

I dont have nowtv as its not cheap for what it is and again nothing i want to watch, but have prime and netflix, the prime i consider free, as i shop on there alot and like the fast and"free" delivery, so the tv is a bonus.
And netflix i normally get it for a month and watch what i want then cancel until there is new stuff i want to watch, and guess what they let me cancel and no threatening letters, and often offer a discount when i sign back up.
The rest of the time i just use catch up, not that i watch alot anyway.
Its not the price of the BBC that bothers me its the bully boy tactics to make you pay.
