    You do not need a license to own a TV in the UK this is a myth put out by the BBC. See questions 2&3 here http://www.bbctvlicence.com/Questions%20and%20answers.htm

    No, I got out of it by threatening to sue them for harassment and disability discrimination (they provided a phone number to contact them if I don't have a TV, which is illegal because I can't use a phone so I had no way of contacting them. To be within the law they would have had to have supplied a postal or email address as well as a phone number)

    Good on you for fighting the TVL bullies. They are a disgrace of an organisation. That link I provided earlier tells the story of one mans battle against them and how he has basicaly won the war. Mind you they still keep harrassing him.
