If you haven't got a TV you're weird. Don’t even confirm whether you have a licence………Just: Well, to reply to several of the above comments: No! The Law is in fact on your side. They are a myth! The government has denied setting up a "Clearing House" unit to profile journalists and undermine Freedom of Information requests, following a letter from newspaper editors demanding action. Cannot see a judge allowing a case where the person is not getting what he/she has paid for. The 1967 court case eventually led to the demise of miscegenation laws around the country. They work by detecting the electromagnetic signature that your television gives off. These oscillators in your TV are in effect mini transmitters which radiate a signal over a few hundred yards. The old televisions gave off radiation but only to a distance of around 18" but so do microwaves, cell phones, vacuum cleaners, ovens, fan heaters and everything else that runs on electricity. This is because the BBC will not publish how they work, so the defence would have no oppportunity to question their accuracy and reliablilty. Never the less, commercials took that over and later cable came and guess what every one pays. To finish, I pay the licence fee, it's a pig, but until someone comes with a better idea, then i have to, just as long as the BBC use my money well, that's all that matters. Do people get taken to court? As a previous person here has said, you have the right to silence - use it. In total he waited on my doorstep for six hours. I like all the techy explanations as to how tv detector vans work but you'd have to be a complete idiot to think that the government would spend millions of pounds sending vans round every town in the UK just to pursue a few license fee evaders. Fact 2: Although TVL threaten that they might apply for a search warrant if you do not let them in to inspect your house, it is very difficult indeed for them to apply for a warrant. These are a part of all CRT circuits (be it T.V. NOT MANY! And it would be illegal. To answer your questions: So long as you do not receive a live-broadcast television programme, a licence is not required. These billboards have been tested and respond to changes in the tuned frequency of the target receiver. Even CSI have to "triangulate". Nowadays, I never have to worry about such ridiculous things as TV licences - although I do have to put up with a lot of ads! It therefore stands to reason that the the presence of an operating TV receiver is comparitevely simple. If you don't have a telly and want to avoid harrassment, you can always just write to the BBC withdrawing the "implied right of access" to your property for their employees. If the BBC callers knock on your door….Once they have A human to represent a person, in other words you give them all your details and sign his contract/ confession admitting you were watching TV without a licence. This signal is modulated with the picture signal so the detector van equipment can display what you're watching. The Guardian’s claims stem from documents it has uncovered relating to the use of the Parliamentary procedure known as Queen’s Consent, where the monarch’s approval is sought before legislation – which may affect either the Royal prerogative or the sovereign’s private interests – … That's how they know you have a TV. Find a radio receiver that can tune 39.5MHz and you should be able to pick up the "buzz" of the video IF signal. If they think they've found a TV in your house, and they don't have a record of you owning a license, they knock on your door. Secondly, I know that the vans exist for a fact as a good friend of mine worked in them for a couple of years - they provided excellent easy work for electronics and radio engineers. It's possible to detect the oscillator and the signal gets stronger according to proximity, so in theory they could triangulate it's position by moving the detector around in the van. Inductive reactance, capacitive resonance, and all the confusing words they use are a smokescreen to make you believe they work.
