Lmao, this is exactly the line I'm taking
I'll have a tv.... but just for console and dvd use.
Dont watch much tv anyway, I'll just use it for the odd program, lol

no. but make sure it isnt tuned in, or next to an aeriel because if it does get checked you gotta make it obvious your not using it as a tv.

how about make sure it has no aerial your not usin it for that. also, if you have a TV but it only gets used for is watchin DVD's etc then you dont need a licence for that either
from the TV licencing website:
Do I need a licence?
-
If you use a TV or any other device to receive or record TV programmes (for example, a VCR, set-top box, DVD recorder or PC with a broadcast card) - you need a TV Licence. You are required by law to have one.
-
The significant words here of course being use .. to receive , so if you can prove you don't use it for that purpose, you should be fine.
However, to be doubly safe, you may want to invest in a PC monitor instead - I think most consoles can do that.

works both ways - they should have to prove your using it to watch TV. and if you dont have an aerial connected, then there aint much chance of you watchin TV

Why not make sure its tuned in?
You do know you dont legally have to let anyone into your home without a warrent yea?
TV guy comes knocking:

No.
Oh... Okay, can I come in and check?
No.
Oh... Okay.
Goodbye.

hmmm.... my bf was telling me the other day how he got into trouble for not having a tv license at a flat he lived in. He only used the tv for games... the tv people came round, had a bit of a go, but he never did pay them any money...

i think you only pay license fee to watch bbc, if u watch itv and channel 4 i think tis ok, and games consoles do not need television licenes, and if you are thinking of using free veiw then yeah you have to have a license fee.

They need a court order to legally search your house without permission... and a police officer with them to carry it out. 
oh I see, so they can search your house without a court order even with a police present?
but don't the tv licence people use a van to detect signal?

Anything capable of recieving television channels means you have to have a TV license. In short, yes you do. I think that even goes for PC monitors, not sure though...

With respect you two, stop talking out of your backsides, Of course you dont need a license for Monitors, and what kind of stupid system would allow you to watch some channels?!
How the hell would they enforce that?!
YOUR WATCHING BBC1! No, No I'm not! YES YOU ARE, THATS EASTENDERS!
lol
