The Transmitter i am receiving from Emley Moor, the analogue TX equipment will but turned off around 2010 to 2012.

If i have no digital receiver anywhere in my home, and just use my analogue TV (which can no longer receive any TV pictures at that time), as a monitor for my DVD player. Would I still have to get a TV licence?

Dear Henshall

Thank you for contacting us.

A television licence is legal permission to install and use television equipment to receive or record television broadcast signals. It is required, by law, if you use equipment to receive or record BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV, Channel 4, Five, satellite, or cable programs. It does not make any difference to how many channels you receive.

When the analogue broadcast service is switch off, and you have not installed and are not using a digitial receiver, and you will not be able to receive television broadcast service, you will not longer require a television licence.

I hope my reply is useful.

Yours sincerely

Mr W Kimball
TV Licensing
