Why

[weecalf]

Does the bbc charge me for watching sky ?

[andy-hughes]

It doesn't - it charges you for having a television that picks up terrestrial TV signals - the choice of which subscriber you add on is yours entirely.

[dannyk13]

Yes, you need a licence to watch any transmitted programme.The licence is for the set, not the channels you watch.

[weecalf]

Why don’t the bbc sell televisions then they would have it all

[gingejbee]

^^same reasons that water companies don't sell washing-machines....

[weecalf]

Oh ok never thought of that simple really ain’t it .

[TonyV]

I know a person who just does not buy a licence at all. Its in a HOMO and hes not had any problems from licensing authorities.

[weecalf]

should the 35 Mod presenters not pay 1000 a year as they make enough .beeb says cutting wages would not help so millions of other companies are wrong then .id change some of the programme names to reflect this unfair rule change . The despair shop ,pensioners under the hammer ,killing view

[Zacs-Master]

Pensioners under the hammer. LOL.

[wolf63]

Tonyv, what is a HOMO? In relation to TV licences.

[douglas9401]

House of multiple occupancy or similar.

[Buenchico]

^^^ HOMO should almost certainly read HMO. (House in multiple occupancy):

Wolf Yes Chris is exactly right, normally HMO. A number of people living in a single property sharing facilities.
