Before Jan last year I wrote to the BBC saying ‘keep it’, wrote to the licence people saying ‘don’t need it’, TV is put away and I don’t miss it. There’s now so little that I want to watch that I can do so on i-player or whatever, about once a month. And since then the licence people wrote an automatic reminder, and that’s all.
No problems, no doorstepping, no nothing. Though maybe they’ll visit my small town sometime, and check on me: they haven’t in twenty months.
Note that you can legally watch stuff on i-player >24 hours after broadcasting.
