@nf3xn @rvkennedy @hamatti It is optional. It's the price of a service. One can, and I do, choose not to buy the service.

@TimWardCam @rvkennedy @hamatti Communications Act 2003.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Televisi

ONS describes it as a hypothecated tax not a service charge. I guess you could avoid watching 'live broadcast'. Used to be if you had a telly right?

lol I remember that it was cheaper for B&W and radio - the vans were really easy to spot, weird round things with a huge thing on top.

tbh I am not sure we have one either.

@nf3xn @rvkennedy @hamatti There are an increasing number of people these days who only watch non-BBC non-live-TV streaming services and thus don't need a licence.

@TimWardCam @nf3xn @hamatti @rvkennedy It doesn't matter what you watch.

If you own a device capable of watching live TV you need a licence:

"The rule is... whether you're watching live TV on a television, computer, tablet, games console, smartphone or any other device, you'll need to be covered by a TV licence."

So, yeah, that old VHS recorder in a cupboard counts.
