money grabbing assholes <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

yeah about that bit

Well they need to make sure people don't opt out

<:GWchadThonkery:366999788803325952>

If the only condition was to not watch the BBC a lot more people would have opt out by now

yeah, i would

Wait “live on an online TV service”

but i watch some live sports broadcasts on other channels, that i have to pay for, so the bbc want their pound of flesh

What constitutes as an online TV service

@atomic until it is tested in court

it means everything

oh

welp

Do they even have a way to check?

check for what?

Check that you aren't watching any online Tv service?

self incrimination mainly

i dont see them demanding isp records

oof so how does one manage to avoid the questions

tell them to fuck off

they have no right to ask you questions

because i’m horrendous at that shit

who is asking?

aight gotcha

or demand an answer

if someone comes to your door and says they're from the BBC, politely ask them to leave

make sure your TV cannot be viewed out any windows

and then you're pretty much solid

gotcha

if they get in your house some how (it happens) and they ask you to put on the BBC or something

tell them no

I gotta write this shit somewhere on a piece of paper and stick it up somewhere for myself in the future

even if you could

it's all self incrimination

yeah, makes sense

they can get search warrants btw

o

u wot

they can indeed

but show me the last time they did

I doubt they will put that much effort into making sure one person pays for the license
