    Because the most shameful thing you can do in Ireland is not pay your TV licence!

    Got a registered letter today to appear in a District Court for not having a TV licence.
    I will admit I was 100% in the wrong, it's just something I never bothered to get.
    I don't have an aeriel or Sky or UPC so I can't even watch TV.

    But I do have a TV for the xbox and DVD's.
    Paying for RTE and I cannot even use their service unless I pay extra for an aeriel/satellite or cable..............

    Do I need a solicitor for the district court?
    Moving house next month but I'm not considering ingnoring the summons.
    Facing a year in the Joy?

    All advice appreciated and yes, I was a freeloader not paying (for a service I can't use!) before someone says it.

    My opinion personally... if you dont use the service... you don't pay for it...

    Unfortunately its not a choice... its more of a tax for having a TV...

    Could you mangle the coax input for the TV and then argue that you can't receive a TV signal?
