Does anyone know what happens if you contact TV license inspector and inform them you don’t have a TV? Do they need to then enter your house to verify ?

You will have to sign a legal declaration that you don't have a TV or other equipment (I rang to check if it was okay to leave the sat dish up).

I did get a couple of warning letters in the years since (saying they observed TV equipment) I explained the situation and told them they could contact me to arrange a time to check the house if needed but heard nothing since.

Hello,

I’ve had a TV Licence the past two years. I plan to cancel my Virgin Media subscription and have no ariel / satellite disc or saorview box. Once my Virgin Media subscription is cancelled - am I right in assuming I won’t have to pay the TV licence once my current one expires?

I will still have a TV on the premises which I’d only use to chrome cast YouTube but no live TV. I want to send the an post declaration that is on their website in advance before they send me a letter stating I need to renew my licence.

Thanks in advance

If you have a TV in the house you need a licence.

A licence as they call it, is still needed as you have a tv set according to their description of a tv set.

They want every premises to be liable in reality, so they make the description of a tv set as wide ranging as possible, including for example, tv sets with tuners which are completely useless here.

A monitor with no tuner would not require one, once no other equipment is there to allow it to be used as a tv.

We don’t drag up old threads. Additionally ALL TV Licensing queries must use the sticky or they are liable to be closed without further warning
