I can't understand why any-one uses a TV in the first place. How the heck do folk put up with the adverts ? that's why I dumped the sh!tbox years ago. It would melt a persons brain.

My mam hadn't paid the TV license and she got a letter informing her the inspector would be around for a visit.

She had every intention of paying, but didn't have the cash handy so was only opening the door if someone called ahead.

Anyway que the inevitable call from the inspector, she didn't answer the door. But the inspector came round the back, peered in the Window, started jumping up and down in pure glee, shouting

"HAHA! You do have a television!"

I'd have called the cops, there's a tresspasser looking in my back window and acting strange.

I took the plunge and got rid of my telly. I'm still getting letters with darker shades of red, bigger fonts, and more exclamation points. Got fed up and called them up. They wanted me to write to them declaring that I don't have a telly on the premises.

I don't think the guy on the other end of the phone appreciated my spontaneous laughter.

That said, I'm waiting for the legislation to be changed so that computers need a license. If that happens I will be livid. I use my laptop to work on - the notion that I might need a TV license for a general purpose computing device is ridiculous. It's easy to make the streaming service opt-in - I don't need it, or want it.

I agree. Thank god for AH.

Red Alert

What'll happen to the TV license inspectors when the broadcasting charge comes in I wonder? Redeployed elsewhere I presume?

I doubt if the Government are going to do a broadcasting licence this term, It wouldn't be good time now to impose another tax on every single household regardless of having a TV or not - their re-elections and support would suffer even worse.

Lol @ people not answering the door.

Just answer the door.

If he says hi I'm a tv inspector. Close the door.

They have acess to a list of irish cable tv, sky tv subscribers so ,saying i have no tv is not a good idea,
if you pay for tv channels.
HOW do they get into apartment blocks ,where there,s security doors etc
I hear some women actually go out to work now,
instead of having babys.

I've had the license guy call twice.

Told him to go away both times.

Both times he did.

It isn't a new tax; its a replacement for the existing TV licence, which almost every household is liable for already.

I'll just put him in the cellar with all the other license inspectors.

I think I have enough of them to power the house somehow, maybe build a few hamster-like wheels or something..........
