> You are not required to provide access to an inspector from TV Licensing to confirm that your TV isn't hooked up to an aerial or satellite box, but it makes life easier if you do.
They have a TV license inspector ? Who actually enters your house to inspect ? What happens if you are found watching Doctor Who without her highness' permission ?
> but the government pays it for you if you're over 75 years of age.
What do you mean by government pays it for you ? You mean the BBC tax is waived off if you are too old. (That way I think the Queen and half of her family does not need license).
> and there are people in prison for non-payment.
Sorry for the first question.
This whole system is incredibly stupid. BBC has like this free revenue stream backed up by coercive power of the government. (Imagine Netflix could send people to jail for sharing their subscription or torrenting their shows).
