  • Under the Common Law ( the Law of the land in England), If there is no Contract, you/we require no licence. My friend told Tv Licensing that as he was not watching/ Recording `Live Programmes` he did not require a Tv Licence. However, he told them that he had tuned his tv to the Tv Channels & that if he decided to watch /record `Live` Tv , he would buy a Licence. He doesn`t let them enter ; says he is not yet interested in a Licence. Without evidence of guilt, no case to answer . Bahhh

  • There is no way to check your watching a TV even if you were to do this. Heat also wouldn't work since computer monitors would also give out the same footprint. Anyway, if you're not watching live TV it doesn't matter and they should bugger off. Finally licenses should be illegal.

  • Just open a microwave oven and remove the magnetron and hard wire to electric via front porch light utilizing motion dictator on house in destroying any TVL interception single, same works under bumper of car with power converter in blocking police lazar radar speed guns though need to use some sheet lead so you don’t burn out the electronics under hood of vehicle…

  • This is fascinating stuff.I have never thought about this before .

    Heres one for you .How do they detect T Vs in a multi story block of flats???

    .

  • @vallonia200 perhaps they simply have heat detecting cameras, see a square box and know that you watch a tv if its in yellow or red color :) anything else in these colors might be you and your missis... :)

  • I wouldn't call them as it's not important. Even if you so called trap them in claims, and falsehoods.

    If you own an old TV that isn't in a faraday-cage then make one in side the box.

  • Hang on, How can TVLA prosecute anyone using these so called detector vans/handheld devices?while they refuse to tell anyone how they work? its a bit like me saying "hey I was miles away when I saw the offence but I know he did it" I cant tell you how I know but he did commit the offence. Would that stand in court? would it fuck!

  • The court will get theirs also...........liscensing service will claim they had a hit and they will see you in court. You cant win against large entities suh as gov't run services. Its a losing battle my friend.

  • a couple of questions here :

    1) Who gets the fine - the TV owner

    2) Who gets the fine - the house owner

    3) Who gets the fine - the people viewing it at the time

    Its all a bit vague !

  • AFAIK there has never been a case in law where TVLA has used TV detector evidence in court. They rely on peoples ignorance to be invited in to see for themselves, then they give witness evidence in court.

    If you put a TV in the name of the family pet, Tiddles the Cat for eg, he can't be prosecuted for watching TV without a licence.

  • hey, i got an Idea, phone, write and email them asking for a yes or a no as to regards do these tv detector vans/hand sets, work.

  • I got a question for anyone out there, Is product placement a form of advertising and if so are the BBC placing products on their shows? Its just that if they are and it is advertising , are they going to scrapp the Licence fee and refund money to folk who have paid to watch tv?,, sorry thats two questions

    thanks

  • The TVLA cant tell you anything about hand held detectors/vans ,, if they do say they work it means that they are telling fibs and they dont want that to get out do they?

  • thats stupid you could just turn your tv off when they come lol

  • so, they can brand you a crim by getting a warrent to search your house? how would they get this warrent?

  • @TheBoHoBoy They cant, pure and simple. A Warrant needs to be signed by a Judge, but only if they had a signed Contract for the person they were serving the warrant on. If they was no signed contract they would not sign the Warrant. This is a waste of the Judges' time and public money - they would not sign one. This is all a game of fear - dont cave in to the tactics. Peace :)

  • brilliant watch greenhat media tv license

  • No TV detector van can 'detect' your TV. Your TV is a receiver not a transmitter!

    The van goes through the streets to scare users into paying a tax.

    Power to the people, check out UCC (Eleron Law), common law rules, use it!

  • what has the world come to?

    I appreciate what videogangstar is doing as our lifes are dominated by bullshit like this.

    I struggle to understand how it exists, how is there a need for this guy to be spending his life answering calls about something thats completely made up.

    This is the real scam, people have had their consciousness taken away from them to serve a system that exists only to control them.

  • Thanks for doing all this for me, I was very close to doing all this myself after being constantly harrassed at University where we wern't even within range of a t.v. transmitter haha.

    The best method they have, while they don't use it as evidence to prosecute you, they do use it as "reasonable suspicion" (allowing them to apply for search warrants) is to watch your curtains at night and use directional microphones pointed at your windows to detect the light/sound emitted in sync with live t.v.

  • tv licence is all bullshit. The only way how they get you is when they try to CAUTION you on your door step. they fill in a record of interview is the only way they can present evidence in court. without the record of interview they cannot take you to court. I am watching live tv without a tv licence and the tv goons cannot do anything to me  ha ha ha I even told a magistrates what I do

  • The trained monkey at this call centre really panicked when you mentioned about NO court cases ever been presented using "detector" evidence ! Hahahah!

  • Everyone in the country needs to see these videos and stop once and for all paying for this nazi tax!

  • "We have ways and means". Fucking bullshit from TVL

  • The call centre guy wanted to know what he's got aainst you. so wrrong. You got these wankers rattled.

  • call center guy is talking bullshit

  • As someone who works in Customer Support, this rep did a bloody excellent job. He answered the questions he had answers for, and told you where to ask the ones outside his boundaries.

  • Do you remember the T.V ad that showed police bursting in to a house and the owner of the property running to put a video of a chicken in a microwave into the V.C.R?? It all makes sense now, its total bollocks.

  • never had a tv license, never will.. why? because im fortuneate enough to live in a country that the BBC doesnt control.

    Anywhere else in the world this would be legally ended by respected goverments and lawmakers, not because people dont pay the licenses, but because the BBC have been abusing the british public for years. LIES.. shame on you BBC.

    BIG BRITISH CON.

  • lets the ppl come tgether rite here rite now in sweet harmony lets work tgether

  • Gotta Love this guy.

  • This is filled with negataive vibrations... from TVL..

    had to leave before the end of the vid

  • did you request it in writing?

    post the shit here!

  • Isn't it amazing what people will do and say when they are actually paid to do this stuff... !!!

    HA HA HA

    really... HA HA HA!!!!!!

  • @DumpYourTelevision

    BTW I do NOT watch TV!!!!

    Am NOT that " S T U P I D"  to do so!

    The things I have learnt since NOT watching TV is a truly enlightening experience, and I love life more so now than ever before!

  • The FOI response is a complete load of toss. That's their answer to every question you ask them. If you actually DO write to them under FOI all you get is, "that information is withheld/restricted on the grounds it might compromise operations". How can giving data on the number of court cases where evidence from detectors was used to secure a conviction "compromise operations or effectiveness of detection systems" total bollocks. They hide behind FOI because they know its all a pack of lies.

  • If they have detection equipment why do they need to come into your property to check if you have a TV?

    even if you do have a TV what can they do? Nothing at all

  • @ws1a37 Exactly. If they had the so-called hand detectors they claim are soooo accurate and effective, surely they would put them to use instead of disturbing people and constantly hounding them with letters and doorstep visits. The reason they do that is because this purely a money making enterprise and their only interest or purpose is to sell tv licences to the entire population using fear and intimidation tactics backed up by an archaic "law" that should of been scrapped decades ago.

  • This call centre is bluffing big time. He gets paid to talk bullshit.

  • When the police ATTEND with a TV Licence officer who has obtained a warrant from a Magistrate, they are only there to ensure that there is no breach of the peace in their capacity of Peace Officers.

    The telephone agents are just poorly paid call centre agents. Pay peanuts you get monkeys. They'll just as likely be working for BT or some shopping catalogue next week. They're actually clueless of the facts regarding your questions. They're reading from a crib sheet of commonly asked questions.

  • @TheHolySpirit That guy is talking complete tosh on the phone. Basically using their common tactics of fear and threats, oh we'll get the police out to you with a warrant if you don't co-operate and allow our inspectors in.. yeah right. Does he have any clue what it involves to get a judge to issue a warrant? I think not. It requires two very convincing pieces of evidence..the judges will not just issue warrants to intrude on peoples property on ifs and maybes. Very very few warrants get issued.

  • You're dying for them to pop round aren't you? ;^) Me too.
