Cars, SUVs, vans and motorhomes all need TV licences if gadgets used to watch telly are used in them. That's according to correspondence I've received from the Department of Communications. Even a tent needs one if you catch Seoige and Seoige on a Sinclair.
The Department also said that any premises using a laptop or home PC to catch a TV signal needs a licence. That is, unless it's accessing the signal online, in which case it's exempt.
Mobiles are exempt.
But using a Slingboxes would mean that any device that connects remotely to it will draw down a need for the host premises to have a TV licence. Wonder what happens if you use it on the bus, though?
i think its sickning that we have to pay this fee every year as you dont have any real say what they fund and what you want to watch!! but still we have to pay or a £1000 fine! and then when you think about if you pay for sky or cable aswell just how much these things really cost? okay, so not everyone has sky or cable and so feel like they have to pay as they still watch tv, but i think its just getting to the point where they'll charge you for anything!!
low income familys do get to spread the cost but that does not make up for the fact it so bloody expensive and every yr gets more and more and who cares if you cant afford it you just have to pay!!!
DAY LIGHT ROBBERY!! ILL PUT UP WITH ADS FOR A SAVING OF £139! thanks very much.
