I think he's through the worst. 'On 8 September 2011, Hayward's venture firm, Vallares, merged with the Turkish oil firm Genel Energy to create a $4.5 billion company with operations in northern Iraq.'

JellyVision (OP) User ID: 40487601 United Kingdom 05/25/2013 03:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm sorry that the bbc still exists in its current form it is no longer fit for purpose yet they keep ramming it down our throats like everything else in this damn country. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33734354 And forcing us to pay the fee even if you never watch BBC !!! I haven't had a license for 12 years because it's only required for live broadcasts. Despite the fact that I'm not legally required to have one, TV Licensing agents have spent an incredible amount of time over the years, writing to me and visiting my property. I allow them access and they seem satisfied when they leave however it's not long before they start to write again and the process starts over. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33734354 And forcing us to pay the fee even if you never watch BBC !!! I haven't had a license for 12 years because it's only required for live broadcasts. Are you sure about that? Sources? WHO NEEDS A TV LICENCE? Anyone watching or recording TV programmes on any channel as they are being broadcast. Whatever device you use to watch programmes – a TV set, computer, laptop or mobile phone – you must pay the £145.50 licence fee. Over-75s are entitled to a free licence. Anyone without a valid licence risks prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000. WHAT CAN YOU WATCH WITHOUT ONE? Programmes on the iPlayer, the BBC’s catch-up service, provided you view them after they have been broadcast. Those using the iPlayer’s Watch Live function, which broadcasts eight channels at virtually the same time as on TV, will need a licence. HOW MANY ARE VIEWING ONLINE TO DOGE LICENCE FEE? The BBC won’t reveal how much revenue it is losing because people watch online but it is likely to be well into the millions. Three per cent of people don’t pay a licence fee, equal to a million households, but it’s unclear how many of them are using iPlayer. HOW CAN BBC TELL WHO WATCHES LIVE OR CATCH-TV? It can't. It relies on honesty. Anyone not paying a licence fee has to submit a declaration that they are not watching or recording live broadcasts. Licence enforcers can make house visits to check and if your explanation is accepted, they put your account on ‘hold’ for two years, before investigating again. [link to www.dailymail.co.uk] |

Personally I've always taken a less confrontational approach. Before asking them in to inspect the set-up I researched the conditions and then made a call to the licensing authority in Bristol. I confirmed with them that a television connected to a pc alone does not require a license, as long as I don't watch 'live' broadcasts. |
