I like watching TV here, I guess it's in the TV program... Not that here there are all good stuff, but some documentaries can be pretty interesting...

I just download the documentaries. I love watching them.
Shame in the UK you can go to prison for having a TV with no licence.
I hate paying for it.

no no.. you cant go to prison for not having the licence.. you can go to jail if you do not pay the bill and respond to the warning you receive when they contact you. They have special scanners, basically they have them installed on 3rd party company vehicles such as delivery couriers like City Link vans, Royal Mail are also rumored to co-operate with them. They also have guys walking around the housing areas with scanners (or in unmarked vans) checking for TV signals in houses not registered to have a licence.
You do get royally fucked if caught however.. its not a small bill and it goes on your criminal record i believe.

i thought that all this scanner crap was only an urban myth that the tv-companies used to instill fear in the populace?
I havent seen any scanner cars EVER, nor have i ever heard of anyone being scanned and NEITHER do i ever have seen the specs of those mythical machines that should be able to find TVs in houses full of other electrical gadgets, especially with PC-CRTs being basically the same just without the tv-decoder-part... ...but i m from germany, and it may be different in big-brotherstan |

We don't have TV licensing fees here, but taxes do fund our public broadcaster ...

Well basically its the good old, mankind-facing-extinction-send-an-away-team, the sun is dying and a team is dispatched but they never return, in a final effort earth sends a 2nd ship (which is where our characters are) I know it sounds dull but unlike the hollywood flicks this is a tale of philosophy, religion in the genres of Horror and Sci-Fi. And trust me its beautiful in every aspect.

We have to pay for TV and radio, but they have to prove that you own a TV and a radio, and if you don't have the antenna out, they aren't allowed to come inside your house unless you let them in (or they come with police, which is unlikely). I don't think we have scanners, at least I haven't seen them here... But the subscription is very cheap, but if you get caught not paying, the fine is pretty hefty...
