Licence*

You need it to watch any electronic content, not just for live broadcasts on the BBC. Poor losers and le epic revolutionaries try to evade it, most people however do not.

Its a license representing the competence to operate a television in the united kingdom.

You need to take a test when you are 16 and if you pass you get to own and use a tv without an adult.

(I failed my test two times because the examiner was a fucker said I used to the remote in an illegal manner)

I think they pay it instead of having commercials on the tv

Seriously? Not even the BBC or any British TV shows but any kind of online media?

Yes, but it's pretty good so it's worth every quid.

Bingo. Ad' free

Dunno if you guys know. The license is 3 times lower if you have black and white tv.

The fucking regulation is literally written like it's 1960's and they're enforcing it more and more because ???

>Wtf is a tv license?
British tyranny. It's why the Founding Fathers rebelled against the British.

You really need a license to watch a TV show on the internet? I thought they would just apologize if they broke your door down only to discover you don’t even have a TV.

Wait what, using a remote in a illegal manner?

Really. How do they get a beer outa the fridge and take a leak with no commercials? No wonder Bongs are so constipated.

OK. This HAS to be a joke.

>it's pretty good
Yea I fucking love paying for leftist propaganda to slander me

It's not. The test is brutal. The theory test is easy, but the practical is just retarded. You can fail for the slightest thing, like I plugged a Freeview box into the second HDMI input instead of the first and failed.

i have a camera set outside my front door for when the license man comes.
once ive confirmed its him, i lock myself in the bathroom, devoid of any windows, until enough time has passed for him to give up.
im trying to figure out a way to deploy some sort of deterrent for when he comes.

It's actually true. You need a licence to demonstrate competency in the safe operation of a television set.

The test covers things like not putting liquids like a cup of tea on top of the set, correct stowage of electrical cables (to prevent tripping), static discharge, age restrictions on certain broadcast shows, movies etc, what is a safe distance from the screen to avoid eyestrain, volume levels, and many more health and safety matters.

I think it's quite sensible to enforce such a law in order to make sure people enjoy a safe viewing experience.

TV licence inspector called to my door and asked me to show my licence. I said I don't need one I haven't got a TV. He said, but you have a satellite dish on the roof. I said yes, I have milk in the fridge too but that doesn't mean I have a fucking cow in the kitchen. I slammed the door shut on his confused face.

Do they have a toilet paper license?
Operating an ENTIRE roll of toilet paper could be lethal!

It's supposed to mean that every licence payer is a shareholder in the BBC and thus has a say in how it's run.

In reality they just concocted some bullshit "Inform, Educate and Entertain" charter and just fill up their schedule with cookery and property programs with a sprinkling of celebrities making tits of themselves dancing or buying antiques etc.

This sounds bad when you write it all out but you should mention that the assessors are so lenient that it's basically impossible to fail.
When I went to the assessment centre their training TV was broken so the guy just made me go through the liquid safety and cable management portions and then approved my license application there and then.
I've never heard of anyone actually failing the assessment.

Where the fuck are you getting assessed lad?
Here in Leicester the practical assessors don't give the slightest shit.

A license to crossdress.

Don't know, don't care, don't pay

Ahhh brings me back. They failed me the first time for crossing the TV antennas.

Holy fuck, why doesn't that country go full blown William Wallace?

Tell them you dont watch TV. Send Notice of Removal Of Implied Right Of Access and never hear from them again.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

this is really a thing. I thought the TV license bullshit was a meme.

Proud to be an American this day.

Did you shove the remote down someones throat?

It’s a voluntary charitable donation disguised as a tax. I have never paid for one and nor do I plan on doing so.

No, you have to be able to say what each button does without pressing it. If you press the wrong button this is what they mean by "illegal manner" its not a crime but it stops you from getting a license and they take your TV away :(

Never remove IROA because that gives the bastards a reason to get the police involved to get their commission. Just open the door, say nothing and then close it in their face.

>americans will never have the experience the TV exam
It's a rite of passage here. You guys are missing out.

Weak, why don't they just charge a tax when you purchase a television? Or do you have to renew it annually?

The whole television license sounds looney.

It's a giant pain in the arse and all because I wanted to watch the football on my own telly.

Fuck, what other nonsense laws do you have like this?

I can't think of a single law that even approaches this in the US.

you also have to pay it if you're blind and don't own a tv

Its how the BBC funds all its race mixing propaganda.

more embarrassing than penis inspection day

that is a lie

only if you watch or record live broadcast

and cause i dont watch tv but use my tv as a monitor i dont have to pay shit

Ah, that reminds me, I'm due for my annual.

Better shave up, a tree looks bigger in a field.

You guys are missing the point. TV is for controlling the population. They get to pacify and propagandize you while making you pay for it.

Year its about £140 per year. I never pay it tho lol

If you own a TV, you have to pay 390 USD every 6 month to the "national" broadcaster..and that is just for owning a TV.

accurate

I bet you still get strongly worded letters demanding you inform the tv license company you're not watching live television and if you don't reply you end up "under investigation", at least that's what happened to me.
If there was some general prosperity/disregard for individual liberty ratio ranking UK would top the lists. There's a general contempt for the common man coming from all your institutions which must be remnants of victorian era when they were established. I guess there are positive things about having your country wiped off the map and needing to rebuild everything after all.

>competence to operate a television

Fuck. Now I know you are joking. “To have a safe viewing experience.” ROTFLMAO. That was a killer line.

Underrated

Is there a separate test for external antenna setup, operation & safety? I feel like this is an area of greater concern. I once installed an antenna in my attic and in the process I fell through the ceiling. I actually, ironically enough, landed on my television. I had glass fragments embedded all over my body including my scrotum, which is quite painful I can assure you. To make matters worse I tripped over a cord as I was trying to get to a phone to call EMS. As I was being taken to the hospital, unbeknownst to me, an electrical fire was consuming my house. Unfortunately I did not have homeowners insurance. I wish they was a testing program for buying a house so many of these mistakes could have been avoided. At least there is a free wifi signal I can pick up from a nearby McDonald's. I live a humble life under this overpass, but people are quite generous when I beg for money as they feel sorry for my poor physical state. You bongs are so lucky to live in a nanny state that cares enough to look after you. وداعا

Which is bullshit because that's how you get a signal when you're nowhere in range of an analogue signal.

Exam was going fine until they asked me how I would demonstrate changing the Brightness. I apparently pointed the infrared so it crossed paths with my lower body and the examiner's clip board "exposing him to an intolerable amount of light pollution".

Lmfao imagine paying money for the opportunity to vision the tele

Has anyone decided to secretly bug an across the street's neighbor with a microphone and watch HIS tele with binoculars?

My old gran just had hers revoked. She went from a "Reasonable" pass last year to a barely "Satisfactory" in January. It's a sad situation but I guess they're right when they say you know it's time to go when you can't adjust the volume on ITV4 and are listening to The Morning Crumpet on a whopping 52 volumes.

You have a license for a car, why can't tv's be regulated the same way?!

The best bit is, its half price if you're blind and deaf

My mate Daz got sectioned because he thought it would be funny to take a load of coke and watch the Graham Norton show on Volume 100.

degenerate filth

It's a license you buy if you have a TV or you use any of the channels online to watch programs from the main channels here in the UK. It costs roughly $4,000USD a year.

Four thousand us dollars!?
My god man, how big is your tv?

Blind people get it half price.
But only if they watch it with the sound down

It is a method of monetizing propaganda.

I recently had to downgrade from my 52 inch 4k screen because I couldn't afford my TV license mortgage, so now I have pic related and I can easily afford the roughly £2,800 with simple monthly payments.
