I didn't
have a TV for years, yet still got the letters.

I do now have a TV, but it's used to stream films from a laptop, and for the kids to play their Wii on.
I haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure I don't need licence for this, the laptop and the wii both do not have tv receiving equipment in them.
I ignore the letters, as it seemed to make no difference when I had no TV if I told them or not - I'd still get ever increasingly threatening letters regardless.

You'd think that someone from the TVLA would actually sit and watch Big Brother or any of the shite *comedies* that the BBC have been dishing out lately, and would realise that it's not only quite likely that some (should be most) people do not have a TV, but preferable to actually owning one and being subjected to that cheap shite.

EDIT: Just looked at the link above and it seems I'm ok. Phew! I wouldn't want some chap who has no legal right to enter my premises to turn up at my door unannounced (well, that depends if you believe the myriad of letters that keep telling me that a visit is 'imminent' - I've lived here 2 years).
