Had a visit from a TV licencing goon yesterday and thanks to the information you have given me through watching your videos he go a nice polite " I don't require a TV licence " to which he replied " I have to come inside and check your equipment " my response was get the f**k off my property before my dog eats you 😂😂 the speed he got out of my garden was quite impressive 😂😂
Had one about 3 yrs ago , just pointed to a front facing window at a notice about 18 inches by 4 inches which said in Block Capitals .. NO COLD CALLERS..
"Check your equipment"? "CHECK YOUR EQUIPMENT"??? The damned _cheek_ of the thing! If that was said to me after I'd said nicely, no thank you, it'd be HIS OWN equipment he'd need to be checking - and I'm nearer 80 than I am 70!
I always say "Wolf sit" so they can hear me before I open the door to them and low and behold they can't get out the garden gate quick enough with no questions asked,, I wonder why that is 🤔😂
@@jimg9820 I live in an urban area close to a town centre, it'd be hard to find a more 'built up' area than where I am. Maybe it's just that, amongst my neighbours, I'm the only one that sees sense lol
I cancelled my license in 2018 called them twice for the first 4 years not the last 2 years because I don’t have too they keep sending there letters but I send them back free post to them had no visits & it’s coming up to year 7 now just stick your letters in a blank envelope with the address on it & Royal Mail pay the postage job done
With advice from you and blackbeltbarrister, I locked the gates on my drive to keep goons at a distance. This also stopped jehovas witnesses, local charities, released convicts selling tatt (next door got threatened when he refused to purchase) I put a mail box near my gate. I've realised anyone who comes to a door uninvited, or without phoning first is doing it to benefit themselves and not me. Win win all round.
I love how frustrated you get… you are a star you’ve saved me money as I cancelled my tv licence…. And I got £50 refund!!!👍👍… keep up the great work.!!
I cancelled my licence early this year thank you Jon. I have 2 smart phones (work and personal) multiple smart tv's (1 fire tv) and a fire stick. nothing dodgy your honour. but according to that bollox I need a licence? Any goons want to visit are welcome to enter my property ...... oh I forgot They have to get by my super protective staffy (he's a big baby really). And if they ask me to secure my dog the answer is no he lives here you don't!
owning a TV is fine. You can watch your videos and DVDs on it perfectly legally. So you will not go to jail or be fined for just owning. The Law states you must be actually watching a live TV broadcast to become guilty of a crime. Where it gets murky is what is a TV program, is it a blog, is it a YT live chat The Blackbelt Barrister has looked at these question on his site and well it comes down to is the live thing you watch regarded as a 'TV broadcast' or not? So the Joe Rogan Show might not be as it's called a live podcast, but TalkTV on YT might as they brand themselves as TV. So just listen to Talk Radio as radio is ok. Mahyar Tousi TV on YT is a problem as the silly sod called it TV even if its a podcast so you'd a tech nerd Judge to know and rule it isn't real TV wouldn't you?
My PC, the 43" Samsung TV I use as a monitor and my Roku streamer could all notionally make me liable for a BBC licence. I don't use the PC for streaming, the Roku is pretty much only for occasional Amazon Prime movies/serials, and the TV has no aerial connected and is not internet-enabled. IOW I try to make sure that I am NOT liable for a licence. However, Amazon streams live content and so does TH-cam which means content that WOULD render me liable is available at a button-press on the Roku (Amazon and various free, commercial channels that don't need registration) or a mouse-click. That said, I'm confident even a forensic analysis would produce no evidence that I am and it would be tempting to actually allow a Crapita goon in to do their worst *but as a matter of principle I'd prefer to give them some verbal abuse to the effect of 'go forth and multiply'.*
Surprised it hasn't been run through BBC Verify. It intrigues me how randomly they have a news feature on their website that has a 'verify' stamp on the particular news thumbnail.
The fact that some random corporation that happens to show TV programmes has the power to dictate that no citizen in the UK can watch ANYTHING live, unless they pay them, under threat of legal action is absolutely mind blowing. Why are we putting up with this?
@@MikeEveswe really shouldn’t need to be ignoring anything. I don’t fund the BBC btw and treat the goonz and threatening letters with the contempt they deserve. My point is that we shouldn’t need to.
The sooner that the license fee is abolished and the BBC becomes a subscription service, the better. I resent not being able to watch ANY of the TV channels just because I don't have a TV license. All of the channels aside from BBC are funded through commercials, so why am I not allowed to watch them? It's barmy.
Got a letter, and the way the way it's written: "An officer could visit to check if you're watching TV without a licence" and "Your TV licence lets you enjoy a huge range of TV. It covers you for all TV channels, pay TV services like Sky and live TV on streaming devices like Amazon Prime Video". Watching TV and ALL TV channels.. only mentions "live" at the end. Twisting and lying outright, hiding the facts and trying to scare people. Sickening.
Those letters seem to cycle round. We are going to visit you, we are opening an investigation, you haven’t responded, you need a license, now! De dah, de dah, de dah. And so ad infinitum.
Yes there is, the charge would become part of general taxation and we would all have to pay whether we like it or not. Also how long do you think it would be before it was way more than it currently is? It would be open season. Keep the licence fee, that way I don't have to pay it.
Warning people, if you own a shed in the garden and are caught watching live TV without a licence you could be fined upto £1000, this also applies to those who have a lawn, Ford Focus, Fiesta, old Saab 9000, Tea Pot from China, Coffee peculator from Italy. or anything from anywhere made by anyone

A suggestion: can I ask all viewers here to write to their MP (eg. via They Work For You) asking them why - and asking them to ask why! - we need a BBC benefit license to watch live content from any other company. And to lobby to change this disgusting tax law.
MPs are not there to help the peasants. They are part of the theatre show that is "authority" (government) all they're interested in is more theft of your money (tax)
I’ve removed my TV licence about eight years ago. I have had a no license TV license. Keep it in the hallway next to the entrance I have Apple TV and also Firestick iPad and iPhone on all these devices I’ve removed any BBC app apps, et cetera same on my smart TV I’ve removed BBC et cetera anyway thanks again for another good video
On the particular model of LGTV I bought for the bedroom. You have the ability to remove any of the apps apart from the LG store app. I don’t buy anything that has BBC fixed to there are some smart TVs like you say that are permanent 🙏🙏🙏
I don't get why the app itself is an issue if you can't remove it. Surely it would be more damning to have an iplayer account. If you don't have an account then clearly you don't use it.
@@sonictelephone1526 oh that’s true what you’re saying but for me personally in my house I don’t want anything to do with BBC or some certain other media companies. I don’t wanna see the apps or their stuff on my devices. I would never give the BBC money again and I just for personal reasons. Don’t want their stuff in my devices that I paid for. It should be an option to have apps that I want to download not pre-downloaded. And forced to have the apps.
I haven't had a TV licence in 4 years, I get my Monthly invitation letter to join the club and truthfully have had two TV Licence Gentelmen (Said with tonuge in cheek) within 7 weeks both left with a no thank you not today message and can't wait for the next arrival -
We used to have a similar situation here in Norway, with the exception that the license was required only if the household had a device able to receive TV signals over the air or via cable TV, not depending on which channel or programme you saw. When streaming services started being used at a large scale, there was a period where those who only used streaming services had problems getting acceptance for their right to not pay a license if they used their TV as a pure monitor after having the tuner part removed by a qualified TV repair shop. This changed, but the rest of us still paid our license directly to the public service broadcaster. The license no longer exists as payment directly to the former monopoly public broadcaster but as part of the normal income tax paid to the government. The government will, in turn, partly finance the public service broadcaster as a replacement for the lost license income.
I have gone from Mr.... to THE OCCUPIER so win win for me. I did the no licence required a couple of years back and when it expired I ignored them. Also cancelled Amazon and they do not hound me, they at least do it right by saying what I am missing when I use the website. BBC it's just lies and threats which is not the way to do business.
Get this, received the red letter today from Bbc, quote... “ if we find you’ve been watching live tv unlicensed, you could be cautioned and interviewed for a criminal offence..A tv license covers you for for all tv channels, pay tv services like sky tv and live tv and live tv on streaming services like Amazon prime Video” This is All encapsulated in a squared box in the letter, meaning, it’s totally , 1, unlawful to attempt to coherce with menace 2, to be completely ignored from the rest of the demanding letter...that’s a proven fact of UK law .....so, the only thing this new red letter informs me of is....a reference number...the legal occupiers address, the date it was printed....that’s it...the rest is complete utter ball locks...in red too😂😂😂
Such a lot of words. Just say "watch what you like". BBC licencing CAN'T be policed. Just close your curtains and be sure your tv sound can't be heard. After Savile and Edwards and many more I'm never gonna buy a licence.
I had social services round as I’m disabled and not working I mentioned that I have been harassed by tv license even though I don’t have a tv they have sent me a letter saying that you cannot watch anything without tv license the struggle continues keep up the good work
The biggest mistake people make is taking it serious. But I sometimes get riled up when I think how my old mum would panic if she forgot to buy her TV stamps at the post office , many moons ago. My attitude, for past 14yrs, is to ignore them completely. I have had 2 visits and laughed in their face each time. No conversations in any way and just laugh and shut the door. The is nothing they can do about it. TV Licence operatives are commissioned based Capita employees with no more power to ask you questions or enter you home than a lollipop lady has. Thanks' to people like Chilli and his growing audience more and more are joining the " Fook U BBC " bandwagon.
@@Smellynelly67 They CAN'T tell.....well, unless YOU reveal your watching habits to a goon knocking your door. People open their mouths and seal their own fate, sadly.
Because tv licence covers all live TV broadcast on any platform via any device, u can of course ignore and watch but it won't be legal but that's up to an individual
@@MikeEvesNot legally, you can't. Fine if you want to break the law, anything goes, of course. But if you want to stay lawful, any live TV, regardless of channel, requires a licence ...because that's the way the legislation was written.
@MikeEves Or a neighbour with a grudge tells them. Or you forget to close your curtains. Or potentially a hundred other ways. The goal, surely, is to live without having to wonder, to go about your business without watching over your shoulder all the time. If you are relying on a particular set of circumstances to get away with doing something that's illegal, pray those circumstances don't change. Personally, I don't pay the licence fee and am entirely comfortable in not doing so, because I don't watch live TV and don't have a BBC, ITV or any other TV company login. I sleep just fine at night, and maybe unlicensed TV watchers can do so, too... but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
I received a letter from TV licensing that does say that if you watch or record live TV without a licence on any device. "This includes all TV channels, pay TV service's like Sky and live TV on streaming service's like Amazon Prime Video. You also need a TV Licence to be covered for everything on BBC iPlayer" It doesn't say anything about TH-cam. I think it's absolute bullshit how misleading the article's are in local newspapers/media site's. I also see an article pop on Instagram about a Crapita data breach. And how people's personal data is/has been put at risk.
Crapita wrote to me recently with a windowed envelope saying ‘will you be in on 26th September’ on opening the brown envelope they go on to say I should expect a visit on that day or another day. I’m somewhat disappointed as I will only be in until lunch on the 26th and might miss them. A place under the memorial patio will remain unfilled for now.
If the Government is unable to provide a winter fuel allowance for those at retirement age, I deduce they can save £169 by not buying a TV License. How much does HM Government fund the BBC in conjunction and in addition to the tv tax?
Jon why is there not a block/password on the ‘live’ button of ITVX and other live streaming channels? There’s nothing to stop anyone without a licence watch this is there? The BBC demands money for watching any live commercial station, already funded by adverts, it’s not right in today’s world.
Tbh getting a £1000 fine is hardly heard of. Most fines around a £200 or so. The licence fee is £170 so getting a fine is worth the risk. The odds of actually being caught are minimal. Most people who get fined are the ones who just own up and plead guilty. Remember they have to prove not you disprove. Say nothing 🤫 Sign nothing ✍️ ❌ Ignore all letters. I'm on 15yrs now not paid a penny. They've even stopped sending me letters. 🤣
I remember BBB did a video when he tried to clarify what a TV channel was but the BBC were unable to do as they weren't able to confirm how many actual TV channel there were. They just told him that as the broadcasting landscape changes frequently they were unable to list every single channel
I felt very vulnerable at the top of a ladder unbolting the aerial and satellite dish. It was fabulous taking it all to the tip and throwing it all for recycling!
I had a fire stick several years ago and it was great for sideloading apps, you could get all these channels for free. On a different note my smart TV comes with UK TV channels preinstalled so I have no choice but to have BBC and so on stuck on my TV without me wanting it and it cannot be removed from your TV's OS.
I know you don’t get people into trouble I have fire stick I watch my programs on there who dose the BBC think they are deliberately misleading people like this thanks for sharing chilli great video has usual
Cancelled tv lic, 3 letters and then 1st visit. " Go away" 2 letters and 2nd visit. " Your trespassing if you come Again" , Letter confirmed i dont need a lic. Also they agreex my common law right NOT to visit my property. Thankyou Jon.❤
ive noticed on bbc radio 2 they have been advertising needing a liscence for your students going to uni. its the way they try making out that you MUST have a licence for everything.
It goes on to say: You'll usually pay for your first licence in 26 payments, one each week. After that you'll switch to fortnightly payments instead. 169.50/6.5 = 26
I've just got the official notice through the door, investigation opened. They say this property has never had one? I've lived here 22 years and at least 20 of those had a licence. Whatever 😂😂
i cancelled my licence back in june, and my licence actually run out on September 30th (although i stopped watching any live tv in june when i cancelled the licence). since September 30th i have received 3 emails telling me 'As you don’t have a TV Licence, our Enforcement Officers could soon be visiting'. these people need to be stopped, its harassment.
They will send you "Empty threat letters" ..Chuck them in the bin and do NOT let any TV licensing goons into your home.. Been "Licence free" for around 8 years now.
If you just close the door without interacting with them at all you're good otherwise they start spewing the crap they rehearsed in the mirror cos they got nothing else interesting going on in their pathetic lives
A while ago I mentioned on your channel, I was listening to a US radio station and an advert came on selling Fire Sticks to enable American viewers to watch British TV and in the adverst is also said the BBC. After I heard this I came on your channel and sarcasticly said something like: Better send some of the goons over and get knocking on doors to see if they had a licence, I know what they will be met with lol. Also a while ago I mentioned I was on a chat forum and said I don't have a TV licence and one lady said something like, "Well I got one coz they can tell what you are watching," I jumped on her telling her she was wrong vand why, she replied, "Well even if thats true I'll get one anyway to be on the safe side," So this is what articles like what you just read does, it scares ppl and they think, best just get one. Some ppl do as you say they don't read it all or don't research, they go off the headline.
I've told them twice since I moved into my new house we don't watch TV and they've just started sending letters again. I'm going to start sending them back to them and if they don't stop threaten them with legal action for harrasment
I'm the same as CJC in thinking they're not actually 'stories' at all, but marketing material from one of the marketing companies the BBC uses, disguised as a newspaper article to trick readers into believing it's an independent piece.

A suggestion: can I ask all viewers here to write to their MP (eg. via They Work For You) asking them why - and asking them to ask why! - we need a BBC benefit license to watch live content from any other company. And to lobby to change this disgusting tax law.
Question why the Capita guy keeps trying to invite himself around to your place and yet he will not invite you around to his first.
MPs are not there to help the peasants. They are part of the theatre show that is "authority" (government) all they're interested in is more theft of your money (tax)
You just need to stop paying it. Remember: if you're still paying it, it's because you want to
If he is giving false information he should be prosecuted, that is the new government instruction.
never had a license in 44 years and never will .

I’ve removed my TV licence about eight years ago. I have had a no license TV license. Keep it in the hallway next to the entrance I have Apple TV and also Firestick iPad and iPhone on all these devices I’ve removed any BBC app apps, et cetera same on my smart TV I’ve removed BBC et cetera anyway thanks again for another good video
Just how did you remove the BBC app from your TV when it's baked into the OS from the manufacturer. I'd be interested to know.
On the particular model of LGTV I bought for the bedroom. You have the ability to remove any of the apps apart from the LG store app. I don’t buy anything that has BBC fixed to there are some smart TVs like you say that are permanent 🙏🙏🙏
I don't get why the app itself is an issue if you can't remove it. Surely it would be more damning to have an iplayer account. If you don't have an account then clearly you don't use it.
@@sonictelephone1526 oh that’s true what you’re saying but for me personally in my house I don’t want anything to do with BBC or some certain other media companies. I don’t wanna see the apps or their stuff on my devices. I would never give the BBC money again and I just for personal reasons. Don’t want their stuff in my devices that I paid for. It should be an option to have apps that I want to download not pre-downloaded. And forced to have the apps.
Birmingham Live's juvenile and semi-literate clickbait editor in chief, James Rodger, always turns comments off on his stories. I can't imagine why.
Cancelled my licence direct debit a year ago
The quality of journalism is this country has really gone down the toilet.
I haven't had a TV licence in 4 years, I get my Monthly invitation letter to join the club and truthfully have had two TV Licence Gentelmen (Said with tonuge in cheek) within 7 weeks both left with a no thank you not today message and can't wait for the next arrival -
the usual then. good work from you, thanks.
Rise in fire sticks must be the excuse for people cancelling the tv licence. Not the fact their is nothing to watch on bbc
What’s a wood stove got to do with watching tv?
We used to have a similar situation here in Norway, with the exception that the license was required only if the household had a device able to receive TV signals over the air or via cable TV, not depending on which channel or programme you saw.
When streaming services started being used at a large scale, there was a period where those who only used streaming services had problems getting acceptance for their right to not pay a license if they used their TV as a pure monitor after having the tuner part removed by a qualified TV repair shop. This changed, but the rest of us still paid our license directly to the public service broadcaster.
The license no longer exists as payment directly to the former monopoly public broadcaster but as part of the normal income tax paid to the government. The government will, in turn, partly finance the public service broadcaster as a replacement for the lost license income.
I got a letter the other day and am being investigated apparently.
I have gone from Mr.... to THE OCCUPIER so win win for me.
I did the no licence required a couple of years back and when it expired I ignored them. Also cancelled Amazon and they do not hound me, they at least do it right by saying what I am missing when I use the website. BBC it's just lies and threats which is not the way to do business.
I've even investigated for a decade, they still don't know my name..
I'm still waiting for them to pay me a visit after numerous threats over the last 4yrs,the BBC will never scam a penny out of me.
@@MikeEves Yep, they know your name, like i do, it's Mr occupier.
I've had over 40 of these threating letters I collect them now as a hobbie😂😂😂
Cancelled my TV license fee 2 weeks ago. Never ever again will i get one.

Get this, received the red letter today from Bbc, quote...
“ if we find you’ve been watching live tv unlicensed, you could be cautioned and interviewed for a criminal offence..A tv license covers you for for all tv channels, pay tv services like sky tv and live tv and live tv on streaming services like Amazon prime Video”
This is All encapsulated in a squared box in the letter, meaning, it’s totally ,
1, unlawful to attempt to coherce with menace
2, to be completely ignored from the rest of the demanding letter...that’s a proven fact of UK law
.....so, the only thing this new red letter informs me of is....a reference number...the legal occupiers address, the date it was printed....that’s it...the rest is complete utter ball locks...in red too😂😂😂
Why are people still watching TV at all?
Exactly. By now it's all propaganda.
Birmingham must be a pretty quiet place, almost dull. In fact, if the Birmingham mail has to pad out its pages with this fluff
It's time for Itv sky and Google to stop the BBC using their names on their correspondence
Just do not pay it and keep your money out of the bank.
Such a lot of words. Just say "watch what you like".
BBC licencing CAN'T be policed. Just close your curtains and be sure your tv sound can't be heard.
After Savile and Edwards and many more I'm never gonna buy a licence.
Just wait till those TV detector vans come along... 😂
BBC should be disbanded
I had social services round as I’m disabled and not working I mentioned that I have been harassed by tv license even though I don’t have a tv they have sent me a letter saying that you cannot watch anything without tv license the struggle continues keep up the good work
The biggest mistake people make is taking it serious. But I sometimes get riled up when I think how my old mum would panic if she forgot to buy her TV stamps at the post office , many moons ago. My attitude, for past 14yrs, is to ignore them completely. I have had 2 visits and laughed in their face each time. No conversations in any way and just laugh and shut the door. The is nothing they can do about it. TV Licence operatives are commissioned based Capita employees with no more power to ask you questions or enter you home than a lollipop lady has. Thanks' to people like Chilli and his growing audience more and more are joining the " Fook U BBC " bandwagon.
Can I ask,will they fine you? My renewal has just come through and I don't want to pay it.
@@Smellynelly67 it depends what you're watching
If you're not watching live TV....
@@jupo9928 how can they tell?
@@Smellynelly67 They CAN'T tell.....well, unless YOU reveal your watching habits to a goon knocking your door. People open their mouths and seal their own fate, sadly.
@@Turrican60 thank you ☺️
They talk crap
Why can’t you watch itv live? It has nothing to do with bbc???
You can
Because tv licence covers all live TV broadcast on any platform via any device, u can of course ignore and watch but it won't be legal but that's up to an individual
@@MikeEvesNot legally, you can't. Fine if you want to break the law, anything goes, of course. But if you want to stay lawful, any live TV, regardless of channel, requires a licence ...because that's the way the legislation was written.
@@dizwell How would they know? Unless you told them...
@MikeEves Or a neighbour with a grudge tells them. Or you forget to close your curtains. Or potentially a hundred other ways. The goal, surely, is to live without having to wonder, to go about your business without watching over your shoulder all the time.
If you are relying on a particular set of circumstances to get away with doing something that's illegal, pray those circumstances don't change.
Personally, I don't pay the licence fee and am entirely comfortable in not doing so, because I don't watch live TV and don't have a BBC, ITV or any other TV company login. I sleep just fine at night, and maybe unlicensed TV watchers can do so, too... but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
Who in their right mind pay this tv tax to help fund all these people who have done disgusting things to children and cover up for them
Because that's not all it funds, rather obviously.
Surely IT’s entrapment if the bbc are embedded into a device and you have no way of deleting it 🤷🏻♂️👍🇬🇬
Maybe leading to a bit of profiteering from the public too 👍🇬🇬
No one is forcing you to watch it. Also, you can legally watch S4C catch-up on the iPlayer without a licence.
You don't have to delete it the onus is on them to prove you use it. Or provide enough evidence to show you have used it.
You need to login with an email address to watch anything on BBC iPlayer and if you login the BBC know.
I bought a fire stick and pay £40 a year to have it unlocked 😂
Why would you pay to have it unlocked when it's easy to do yourself with hundreds on videos showing you how to do it.
@@Holycurative9610 Saves him the bother I guess.
@@Holycurative9610 £40 a year to watch everything including pay per view is a bargain
I received a letter from TV licensing that does say that if you watch or record live TV without a licence on any device.
"This includes all TV channels, pay TV service's like Sky and live TV on streaming service's like Amazon Prime Video. You also need a TV Licence to be covered for everything on BBC iPlayer"
It doesn't say anything about TH-cam. I think it's absolute bullshit how misleading the article's are in local newspapers/media site's.
I also see an article pop on Instagram about a Crapita data breach. And how people's personal data is/has been put at risk.
If you watch live TV on TH-cam, eg, sky news, you do need a licence. It does say that.
Crapita wrote to me recently with a windowed envelope saying ‘will you be in on 26th September’ on opening the brown envelope they go on to say I should expect a visit on that day or another day.
I’m somewhat disappointed as I will only be in until lunch on the 26th and might miss them. A place under the memorial patio will remain unfilled for now.
If the Government is unable to provide a winter fuel allowance for those at retirement age, I deduce they can save £169 by not buying a TV License. How much does HM Government fund the BBC in conjunction and in addition to the tv tax?
Pucker up for an Internet connection license
Jon why is there not a block/password on the ‘live’ button of ITVX and other live streaming channels? There’s nothing to stop anyone without a licence watch this is there? The BBC demands money for watching any live commercial station, already funded by adverts, it’s not right in today’s world.
Tbh getting a £1000 fine is hardly heard of. Most fines around a £200 or so.
The licence fee is £170 so getting a fine is worth the risk.
The odds of actually being caught are minimal.
Most people who get fined are the ones who just own up and plead guilty.
Remember they have to prove not you disprove.
Say nothing 🤫
Sign nothing ✍️ ❌
Ignore all letters.
I'm on 15yrs now not paid a penny. They've even stopped sending me letters. 🤣
Good job I’m watching you 4 hours after you put this on. It’s not live 🤣🤣
I keep getting red TV licence letters,they go straight in the bin!
I remember BBB did a video when he tried to clarify what a TV channel was but the BBC were unable to do as they weren't able to confirm how many actual TV channel there were. They just told him that as the broadcasting landscape changes frequently they were unable to list every single channel
Hang on in there Jon. Keep the truth coming!
I felt very vulnerable at the top of a ladder unbolting the aerial and satellite dish. It was fabulous taking it all to the tip and throwing it all for recycling!
I had a fire stick several years ago and it was great for sideloading apps, you could get all these channels for free.
On a different note my smart TV comes with UK TV channels preinstalled so I have no choice but to have BBC and so on stuck on my TV without me wanting it and it cannot be removed from your TV's OS.
I know you don’t get people into trouble I have fire stick I watch my programs on there who dose the BBC think they are deliberately misleading people like this thanks for sharing chilli great video has usual
Cancelled tv lic, 3 letters and then 1st visit. " Go away" 2 letters and 2nd visit. " Your trespassing if you come Again" , Letter confirmed i dont need a lic. Also they agreex my common law right NOT to visit my property. Thankyou Jon.❤
ive noticed on bbc radio 2 they have been advertising needing a liscence for your students going to uni. its the way they try making out that you MUST have a licence for everything.
My BBC letters always state that the licence is available from £6.50 a week…. That’s £338 a year?!?!? WTF?
I think if paying weekly you are charged double for the first 6 months because exploiting poor people is fun.
they want there money up front for the following year and earn interest on it. even before the year comes.
It goes on to say:
You'll usually pay for your first licence in 26 payments, one each week. After that you'll switch to fortnightly payments instead.
169.50/6.5 = 26
God they're a nightmare these days.... TV who watches TV lol......
Birmingham Mail biggest load of bollocks ever from banks to motoring to flying to holidays to households. YOU ARE GUNNA GET FINED . Whatever?😂😂😂❤❤❤
I keep getting terrible threatening letters to the legal Occupier whoever that is 😂
Me too.
You can get a fine or even get jailed if you use your screwdriver to stab people in the street!
No sorry,they don’t jail you for that type of offence,more posting right wing tweets gets you thrown in the nick!
Cancelled my TV licence 2 days ago.
I've just got the official notice through the door, investigation opened. They say this property has never had one? I've lived here 22 years and at least 20 of those had a licence. Whatever 😂😂
May be we shuold get a kid to wright them letters.😅😅😅
lol!
Sue them for misinformation
Would be funny if James Rodger never paid his TV licence.
TV Licencing fleecing the gullible and vulnerable.😡
That's their target audience, spot on
My car does 140mph.I don't get the police round saying I am capable of speeding.
i cancelled my licence back in june, and my licence actually run out on September 30th (although i stopped watching any live tv in june when i cancelled the licence). since September 30th i have received 3 emails telling me 'As you don’t have a TV Licence, our Enforcement Officers could soon be visiting'. these people need to be stopped, its harassment.
Standard bs from the BBC, I am so glad I cancelled my TV licence on Monday.
They will send you "Empty threat letters" ..Chuck them in the bin and do NOT let any TV licensing goons into your home..
Been "Licence free" for around 8 years now.
Scare Mongering the BBC would have to take Amazon and other's to court !
Errr no, because you do not let the inspectors in!
If you just close the door without interacting with them at all you're good otherwise they start spewing the crap they rehearsed in the mirror cos they got nothing else interesting going on in their pathetic lives
A while ago I mentioned on your channel, I was listening to a US radio station and an advert came on selling Fire Sticks to enable American viewers to watch British TV and in the adverst is also said the BBC. After I heard this I came on your channel and sarcasticly said something like: Better send some of the goons over and get knocking on doors to see if they had a licence, I know what they will be met with lol.
Also a while ago I mentioned I was on a chat forum and said I don't have a TV licence and one lady said something like, "Well I got one coz they can tell what you are watching," I jumped on her telling her she was wrong vand why, she replied, "Well even if thats true I'll get one anyway to be on the safe side," So this is what articles like what you just read does, it scares ppl and they think, best just get one. Some ppl do as you say they don't read it all or don't research, they go off the headline.
I've told them twice since I moved into my new house we don't watch TV and they've just started sending letters again. I'm going to start sending them back to them and if they don't stop threaten them with legal action for harrasment
*They’re desperate to get licence fees to pay for Hue Edwards £300K pension.!*
People with EYES face £1000 fine if they use them to watch bbc iplayer or live TV.
Never paid ....never will
How did I guess the source would be Birmingham mail. The bastion of truth
Back after not watching your vids for 3 weeks... stunning! A short beard! You look great ❤
People with a potato face a £1000 fine if they watch live TV !
Bugger, I've got a whole sack full 😮 looks like a 10 stretch in the big house for me
We are paying to watch hours and hours of repeats. Perhaps every time they show one we get a refund.
We are NOT paying.
Why are you paying?
Great work as always Jon 👍🏻
Quick Question… why does the swivel chair behind you have 3 arms? 😂
Please ask - Do these local newspapers get paid to publish these 'stories'?
I suspect they do.
Vermin.
I'm the same as CJC in thinking they're not actually 'stories' at all, but marketing material from one of the marketing companies the BBC uses, disguised as a newspaper article to trick readers into believing it's an independent piece.
their websites are chock full of advertising so they publish misleading headlines so peole click on the story to get bombarded by said adverts
Very rare to find an independent newspaper nowadays. They're all being bought by up a handful of big companies.
Lazy journalism
