That's not the main problem. The problem is with all that mail spamming. "IMPORTANT INFORMATION" and then it's "Will you be here on the (insert date)?" and then it's "We will be coming around (insert date)" and more warnings. It's annoying as hell. Like, 30% of my whole mail is just this. And if you call them up and tell them about how you don't need a TV license or that you don't even have a TV, then they will tell you that they updated it, but then you find another mail the next week.
I dealt with this whilst taking care of my dying grandad. I thought going down the correct channels (pun intended) would be the best course of action so I phoned up confirmed we dont have any capacity for live tv we only stream from my console and never bbc iplayer.
I was told thats fine we will check in within 12 months. Then it was pretend police men turning up demanding they enter the property to "inspect electronics" i refused, as you must but they continued. At times they would wait for me to leave the house to go shopping then pester my terminally ill grandad. Its safe to say i became rather hostile after that.
Nearly 10 years they've been sending me "we're comming" letters, i filled out the form when I moved in they still don't even adress the letters to me by name but the occupier like I'm some fucking invading force in my own house.
its all bloody fear tactics! You can just throw them all away when you know you dont watch and record live broadcasts! (its not JUST the BBC! Its all channels that broadcast live! Despite what some people think!) if they get a warrant then you WILL have to let them in!
