I’m not renewing my TV licence - any pitfalls?

[french frank]

If the Radio Times can't be bothered about classical music and the BBC's own broadcasts thereof, we're doomed.

Don't forget Radio Times is no longer a BBC publication …

Too late

My point is still good, all the same.

[Beef Oven!]

The examples I gave in #185 are not really anything to do with whether one 'knows about classical music', more a case of 'I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order'. The information for the items in the programmes was all there but had been put together in the wrong order. It wasn't even a case of trying to save space, as the number of lines was the same as if the information had been assembled in the correct order. So as far as I am concerned somebody, at some point in the process, made a decision to 'do it wrong', and no-one has seen fit to correct the practice.
As a matter of interest what were the Netherlands Chamber Choir actually supposed to be singing in (a clue, it's probably located somewhere above the Bruckner on the page....)

Here's what I posted in real time on the 'Hear & Now' thread, as I was listening live ....


"Did I hear that correctly? Did Kate Molleson introduce Lori Goldston's composition (playing now 10.46pm) as "That Sunrise"? I ask because in the Radio Times It is listed as "That Sunset". Who's right, Kate, RT or did I hear wrong?

Whatever it's called, it's excellent music. It has certainly lifted the quality level of tonight's programme.

Right, I did hear it correctly. At its conclusion, Robert Worby called it "That Sunrise". The Radio Times is a joke. They name as "That Sunset". How stupid can it get!?"

Over half way through October and I'm still doing fine without a TV license.

Edit: I've had no visit nor seen any vans. Have given my TV to another family member to use.

The odd thing is, the licensing authority has sent me an email thanking me for renewing my license fee online, as previously, and confirming with a copy for me to run off that I'm valid until October next year.

Odd because, a) I have no recollection of renewing it online last year; and b) because a fortnight later no deduction has been made from my bank account!

Pinch me. I'm having a bad dream. We've become an American state and now have TV liSences.

You aren't missing much on MOTD, United are painful to watch at the moment.

I hope you reminded your family member to buy a Television Licence TM

That's TVLicence TM

After fifteen years without a television or a licence I succumbed two months ago and bought one on the grounds that I would be supporting Radio 3. Ha. Just look at R3 now!' Ever been had?' springs to mind.

Then you made a double mistake: BBC Radio is not supported by the TV license.

So where does the money come from?

Somehow, I've managed to get my Mac on US English as default*

Anyway, if I'd realized how easy it would be without a color TV license, I'd have done this tears ago.

Anyone know how to get it back to UK English?

I am replying to this instead of S_A. Yes, United are boringingly anti-football - that Liverpool game was an embarrassment. We'll just have to settle for 4 points from them.

Points mean prizes.
