Since I don't watch TV programmes and also don't own a TV, I do not need a TV license. The TV licensing people seem to find this similarly difficult to believe than their German counterparts, so they keep hassling me about this.
Their latest letter seems to allow to declare online that I don't need a license. Unfortunatly, the web form quickly forces me to choose one of the following possibilities:
- Only watch pre-recorded programmes (DVDs/Videos)
- Only watch non live programmes via a Computer (e.g. Catch up services on iPlayer)
- Only watch non live programmes via a TV (e.g. Catch up services on iPlayer)
- Only use TV for games / consoles
- Covered by another licence
- I have no equipment
The last option seems like a possible choice for me, except for the
fact that my computer probably qualifies as equipment
. So which
option am I meant to choose????
