I dont pay a license. But I very very rarely watch anything as its broadcast, I prefer to catch up online because I hate watching a series and having to wait a week inbetween each episode..or watch dvds or whatever. I watch nothing at all on the BBC either, so I dont feel bad.

TV license people have started sending me demands to pay, which I just bin immediately without even reading anymore. Judge me if you like, I will not pay for something I dont use

sort of....

The law states that you need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch or record television programmes, on any device, as they're being shown on TV. This includes TVs, computers, mobile phones, games consoles, digital boxes and Blu-ray/DVD/VHS recorders.

You don't need a licence if you don't use any of these devices to watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV - for example, if you use your TV only to watch DVDs or play video games, or you only watch ‘catch up’ services like BBC iPlayer or 4oD.
