Phone them up and say you no longer need one. They'll ask you the normal ****e, but just tell them you don't watch live TV....you watch dvd's, Netflix and YouTube.
If anyone comes to your door, just shut the door.
They have as much right to come in your house as the postman or milkman does...zero.
You could go one step further with them while you're on the phone...remove all "implied rights of access". They can't even come on your property then.
Once you've instructed them, you should get a letter of confirmation which is valid for 2 years. They aren't allowed to send you further letters in them 2 years.
They will say they have "other means of detection"...they don't. They rely on knocking on a door and being allowed in.

All correct. They have no power other than threats.

There's got to be a way surely.

The culture secretary, Lisa Nandy said: "We recognise there are problems with the licence fee. Fewer and fewer people are paying it.

"It's unenforceable and, particularly, I've been very concerned about the way it's been enforced in the past, with women - particularly vulnerable women - targeted for enforcement action, and the BBC itself has accepted that."
