i have not got a tv license, never have, never will. 1.they have no powers to enter your property. they cannot come back to your property with the police to gain entry.
2. they can only take you to court if they can prove you have a televison. their detector tecnology, if it actually exists, is not enough to bring a case. with all the tv sets operating in an area, it would be nigh on impossible to pinpoint one signal. i believe the detectors are more of a scare tactic than a reality. they will need visual evidence of your tv to bring a case.
3. whenever they've knocked my door, they have asked for my identification before they have identified themselves. not only is this sneaky but i'm pretty sure it's against the rules. i fell for it once but never again. if strangers knock my door i wait for their identification before i will say more than a couple of words to them. if its the tv license i simply tell him that i have no tv and send him on his way.
i don't have a license because i refuse to pay for a service for which i haven't asked. for instance, if a window cleaner takes it upon himself to clean my windows he will be given his marching orders if he then knocks on my door demanding payment.
Some people use the argument that they do not watch the bbc as to why they have no license. an obvious lie as everyone watches doctor who and if there's a woman in your house then eastenders will always be on. but the tv license inspectors counter-argument is always 'yeah, but you can if you want' - i can do a lot of things if i want. I could be sat on a bus behind 2 old dears nattering away. their idle jibber jabber is none of my concern but i can listen in if i want. does that mean they've got the right to turn round and charge me for listening in? does it buggery!
then the bbc have the cheek to broadcast bbc3 and bbc 4, make them available on freeview, yes FREEview and then they up the license fee to pay for the channels.
the bbc and their smarmy, hitleresque license inspectors can swivel on my fat one

Keep dreamin' 
going back over 25 years , a TV licence man knocked , while we had a newborn home that day , he could see the TV blurting away in the bay window , we were 5 months out of date !.
