You call it 'not subscribing to the conventional model' ... I call it breaking the law. . Like it or not, the TV licence is mandatory in the UK if your viewing habits fulfil the criteria.

Re chavs and scutters, I used to know a TVL agent and he got almost all his business on council estates. He got a bounty for every house he signed up. Often, people would sign a direct debit on the doorstep and cancel it 2 months later. He would go back and sign them up again and get another bounty. This could sometimes be repeated several times and is probably why TVL is so desperate to collect fees wherever it can (and why some of the agents are so aggressive at trying to sell a licence to you).
