So I cancelled my TV license. We were paying for a Virgin box but everything we watched was on YouTube or Netflix. BBC Scotland are an awful shower so we had the Virgin TV service disabled, the TV had no aerial attached, so we set about doing our bit to stop funding the BBC's biased service which ignores Rangers where possible unless they can attack us.
First off if you have a license, you have to fill in this form to cancel it - https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/contact-us/question.app
If you have a Direct Debit set up, cancel it with your bank immediately.
After that you have to declare that you don't need one - https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/no-licence-needed/about.app
They have been known to perform the odd check but you can tell them to sod off. Obviously they accept it a lot better if they come in and it's just an XBox and a Firestick that are wired up to the telly.
*** IMPORTANT INFO IF YOU CANCEL LICENSE RE: IPLAYER ***
Watching iPlayer in your home without a TV license is illegal
Watching iPlayer at another property on your device is illegal UNLESS you use his power source
(I seriously can't think of any way that they could get you on this unless you're viewing it in front of them but you know it's illegal so you won't do it because you couldn't live with yourself if you thought you weren't paying for Sportsound or something with Janey f*cking Godley in it)
ITV/C4/C5 player shows on catch-p that have already aired - LEGAL
ITV/C4/C5 player live broadcasts - ILLEGAL
The BBC has been at war with us for years. Time to put up some sort of defence. Stop their funding for their Scotch channel that nobody wanted. End the bias of programmes like Panorama. No more Question Time panels consisting of 83% Remainers in a country that's 48% Remain.
And, most of all, no more funding the likes of that freak McLaughlin, that tabloid hack bastard Mark Daly and the rest of them who have replaced news with thinly-veiled activism..
UPDATE 20/6/19! POTENTIAL FOR £££!
Oi! You lot!
Just to add to this thread. I meant to do so earlier but it totally slipped my mind.
A lot of people who are paying for their TV license are actually paying towards next year's license at the same time. After we cancelled my wife realised this a couple of weeks later so I got her to call up and, yep, we'd paid £90 OVER what we should've paid and we're to fill in a form and send it away to have the money refunded to us.
They won't tell you that when you cancel so please ask. It's a handy wee bung from people who have been ripping us off for years to throw money at a bunch of Rangers-hating bastards.
