Has your TV Licence declaration changed?

So you know this email is genuine, we've included part of your postcode, *** 8LQ.
For more information, please refer to your security at the bottom of this email.

Dear Mr Klondike,

You previously told us that no one at your hovel, with postcode ending *** 8LQ watches TV illegally on any device. If this has changed please buy a TV Licence or confirm you don't need one.

Buy a TV Licence

I don't need a TV Licence

If you said yes to any of the above, it's a legal requirement to buy a TV Licence immediately. Or you could be fined up to £1,000, plus any legal costs and/or compensation.

When our Officers visit they find that one in ten people they speak to are watching TV illegally.

It seems to fit the definition of spam being a unsolicited unwanted communication so I reported it as such. May stop others getting this junk.

If they want to communicate they can come to my door. Then I can communicate my desire for them to sling their hook and shut the door in their face should I mistakenly answer it.

Yes, on catch up as I do 

I had a letter the other week Klondy but can't remember if I mentioned it here.  It said that someone had been logging in to BBC I Player from my address on a few occasions.  Must be another scare tactic.

I deleted all my BBC accounts but then had to create one to get news from Alexa. I have removed the iPlayer app from all my things capable of running it.

I genuinely watch no live TV nor use iPlayer. I cancelled the licence and declared I did not need one. They posted a form asking for a fresh declaration which I completed and returned. That's enough imo. I shall ignore any further communications from them as it is bordering on harassment.

I'd like to be able to get Radio Merseyside on Alexa how do I go about that ?  I've got GB News and Talk Radio, but Alexa tells me I have to link my BBC account to listen and I don't have one.

[klondike]

That's why I created one. Just create a BBC account tell Alexa the details and you're good to go. Mind you Alexa is a real crock and sometimes prattles on with the stuff about linking an account while playing the news in the background.

I didn't realise listening to the BBC was permitted sans licence, silly me

To be honest, Marge insists on paying for a BBC Licence because, she says, she likes their films.
I suppose that, at least, even she doesn't watch their biased news programmes.

Should I ever have a say in this house I would certainly ditch the Licence.
Assuming I can ever achieve that yearned for situation, I would gladly answer the door to their goons and, as soon as they announce their identities and intentions, I should immediately and politely state, "Not today, thank you.  Goodbye", and close the door in their faces.

Assuming the telly is turned on at the time, and a live TV programme being watched, there will be no problem.  Both Marge and I use our hearing aids, via a little box plugged into the telly, to listen to the sound so, of course, there is no overt sound whenever the telly is on!  Consequently, the BBC Police would not, having come to the door, hear that the telly is turned on.  Also, the screen is not visible from outside our window.
