 BBC licence fee - Fullchat
Isn't it Capita that run the TV Licencing 'enforcement'?

They have quite a simple business model. Their assumption is that every household has a TV set and is watching terrestrial TV. Having a full list of homes they marry that up to their list of issued Licences. Any that don't tick both boxes is fair game for their harassment tactics.

DVLA intoduced 'Continuous Insurance' which obliges you to insure or SORN. Anything not in those categories is followed up.

As for TV detector vans they were just another form of intimidation I doubt that they could actually penetrate peoples deduce what you were watching on TV.

Having said that a friend who is a real electrical whizz having just retired as a university lecturer on all matters electrical informed me that the old 625/405 line TVs didn't use all the lines and the surplus transmitted information. I dot know if it was a wind up but we were sidetracked and never questioned it.
