    Hi
    I have usually gotten letters to the occupant looking for a tv licence to be got for my house, now they have my name so does this mean i have to get one? also i dont have any tv stations. i only use the tv as a computer screen do i still need one?

    Yup. If you have a device that can potentially be used to watch a TV channel then a licence is required.

    You can always go on Disability Allowance and get the Household Benefits Package. Exempt from licence and coming soon - a way to make cash off the water charges (assuming you use little water).
    A little drug dealing / landscape gardening on the side and you'll be winging it.
