Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar Posted November 6, 2003 Salaan... I think silent-sister is playing a joke on you, guys. Most folks in UK have satellite dishes, most probably SkyTv being one. And most of their VCR-like dishes on the top of their TVs require bank-like cards that you put or "feed." Otherwise, it won't work unless you put it. I think it is a clever innovation to protect the children from viewing unattended dirty programs on tv anytime of the day. You take it out, and eureka! the children will beg you all day long to put that "card" back into device. UK is waaaaaay advanced than what I had seen most markets in North America when it comes to digital, satellite networks and cables. Some even play with their remotes--while bored at home and tired watching some dull shows like Neighbours--a billiard-like game on TV, with some strangers they don't know. _______________ Soon Wanaagsan.

N.O.R.F Posted November 6, 2003 our TV and digital satalite are way more advanced, thats why we pay like £100 per year on TV license, not that i have ever paid. As soon they come round to the house u just say that the TV is there for decoration and u only watch DVD and video of recorded TV programs, that will confuse them, then they will leave u alone!

-Serenity- Posted November 6, 2003 Horta..that reminds me - I used to have a TV license last year when I lived alone n was too chicken to take any risks but this yr I got broadband+cable..the whole deal...n I pay well for it.. do I still need a license????

N.O.R.F Posted November 6, 2003 lol, yes you do! they aint gonna come round neway so why worry? u have to be really unlucky for them to come round, if u watch BBC (which i'm sure u do, ie Eastenders)then u have a prob cos essentially thats what yr paying for, the BBC and its services, other channels are free due to their advertising revenues.

Paragon Posted November 6, 2003 Well, what you people don't know is, if the cops stop you and you haven't got an ID with you (especially, if you are a new immigrant), TV license or Electoral registrations came in handy. If you don't wonna get cought, use it during the night. The worst thing is I have a astra & hotbird settelite with no licence itself. So hadii mar la i qabto ... I am down. Psycho_Sue...
