Back in the day it just worked because you bought a card with a supported chip… or you had to do some ungodly things with ndiswrapper to get the Windows driver loaded.

I think back then I was using wicd as well.

It’s come a long way.

I just treat their letters as scrap paper or kindling. They are very carefully worded to give the illusion of power where there is practically none. Capita are masters in mismanagement, so I’m not surprised your declarations have been ignored in the past. Just don’t bother.

If you’re truly not doing anything required to have a licence, then they can’t prove you do. Licence dodgers are usually clever enough to not give it away too.

Don’t answer the door to them on the rare off chance they come prospectively calling. If you do, just close it on the scum without a word, and go about your day. No warrant = no entry.

Sounds like a good way for Mr Pirate Fire Stick Man to sell more of his £50/year IPTV packages.

It’s already easy enough for the average joe to do this. Having the BBC double-dip their Netflix sub may well be the push that has them cancel subs & go ‘elsewhere’.

If we want a public broadcaster, it should be recognised as a national service and funded directly through tax. Unfortunately, that would put a lot of Crapita licence fee collector dogs out of a job and we simply can’t have that(!).

Just look at the crap you get shoved through your door if you decide not to play their game: http://www.bbctvlicence.com/

Before anyone mentions that you can submit a ‘no licence needed’ declaration - they’ve got no business even knowing my name, let alone my media choices.

Well done :)
