dodging the tv license

ilovesleep · 27-04-2010 11:14PM #1

Would ye recommend it?

i've moved out of home and into a lovely apartment and i love it. i want to get myself a tv but the tv license is a bill i do not need or want. and also i would very rarely get time to actually watch the tv but i would like to have one all the same.

i wonder, china and japan are very advanced with technology. if i was to google portable dvd player with tv from china would i be able to order something like this? and would such a thing work in ireland.

admiralofthefleet · 27-04-2010 11:19PM

just pay it

Get a regular TV, cover it with tin foil (and your head), possibly learn to speak Polish or Russian and Bobs your uncle - your in stealth mode and undetectable.

deaddonkey · 27-04-2010 11:22PM

Depends if you could handle the shame.

Could you?

squod · 27-04-2010 11:23PM

Get broadband & use web to watch TV. There's always fuhkall on RTE anyway.

You are a student from Ireland ..right ?

I am pretty certain you are irish because the first thing you think of is how to get something for nothing.

You post here - where most people pay TV licences - and expect to get advice as to how you can sponge from them.

Now i have some advice for you in your "nice" apartment - get a licence you cheap ba$tard and pay youre fcukin way in the world - it's necessary now that youve "moved out of home".

Fcukin pillock :eek:

PCPhoto · 27-04-2010 11:24PM

To be honest, the internet is your t.v just get a really fast broadband connection, and a massive monitor and you can watch any film or channel you want and guess what? you dont have a t.v

tbh I hate paying it too, its one of those things we never question as to why we NEED to pay it. the Irish people are such a push over if you ask me.

although I've got a t.v I actually never ever watch it, the internet is the new place to be and theres no licence to pay for it either.

Meh, just don't pay for it until you get caught, it's grand

CptMackey · 28-04-2010 11:18PM

I think you would get away with it no bother. Its just a tax for rte's wages and nothing more

Might i point something out? You insult Irish people with your opening tirade, saying we want something for nothing, yet go on to suggest most people here pay their licence fee.

This is boards.IE. Most people on here are Irish.

is it really? I mean have you got a source to prove it? not that I'm attacking your post or anything but if that is true, then what about those that only use their tele to look at dvds?

I know a few people who have never paid it in the last few years. Dunno how they get away with it but the manage it. So I assumed that if they can maybe the op might be able to pull it off

do they live in a council estate by any chance? I come from the old council estate where I live, and my parents told me there are loads of people without a licence, and nobody ever knocks on their door, reason being the post office crowd are too afraid to go in there. My dad said the last licence man that came knockin on our doors came back to his van only to find it on fire with lads dancing around it like indians.

So I suppose the best advice for the op is to go live in a council estate if he wants to evade the licence man.

Why is it automatically assumed the OP is a student??!! I hate this students are always trying to get something for nothing crap. Newsflash- not all people who move out of home are students.

incredibly insulting post, absolutely no merit in it whatsoever.

heres advice on how to sponge, get a large lcd monitor and chorus broadband - no licence fee required.

And enjoy your nice new apartment

The Mad Hatter · 28-04-2010 11:53PM

I dodge the TV license by not owning a TV.

df1985 · 28-04-2010 11:56PM

rightly or wrongly i know loads of people who dont have them. how many people on here have actually been checked, i still live at home, the mammy pays it but not once in her 35 yrs in leixlip has anyone called according to her!

Believe it or not, thats exactly where they will go, they always chase the ones they know wont burn their vans out

:D

I know because I got a call from one.

tba · 29-04-2010 12:06AM

Having never owned a TV I frequently had the TV licence dude visit (nice fellow). I assume this is because I am on some watch list as evading the fee, anyway every-time he arrives I say

"I don't have a TV"

He then scribbles on a piece of paper and walks away with the usual pleasantries (lovely fellow), so I guess you could chance lying through your teeth?

Do they not only call to people who dont have them ?
(I could be way off the mark, thought they had some system for knowing tho)

Screw em, I reckon if nobody paid it there wouldnt be much they could do.
Viva le Revolution!
