If you're blind, they will give you a 50% discount on your TV license (I'm not kidding). What a deal!
TV Licensing's database of more than 28 million addresses is a critical part of enforcing the TV Licence. Typically, we'll send a number of letters to an unlicensed address, reminding occupants of the importance of being properly licensed and giving information on the many ways they can pay. We may also contact occupants by phone, asking whether a TV Licence is needed at the property. If there is no response, the address will be selected for a visit from an Enforcement Officer. Visits like this can provide TV Licensing with information on whether an address is unoccupied or derelict and whether there is a TV receiver on the premises. Visits can also result in evaders being caught. On average around 1,000 evaders are caught daily.
You need a TV licence to use any television receiving equipment such as a TV set, set-top box, video or DVD recorder, computer or mobile phone to watch or record TV programmes as they are being shown on TV.
Wow...they've really got the bases covered.
