I will update on the communications I receive, because I know from experience you are entirely incorrect and perhaps a little naive if you think TVL will not be bombarding me with threatening letters and easy payment plans.
I wouldn't cut any cables, remove any satellite dish or aerials. They are the ones that are assuming you are a liar, and it is illegal for them to gain entry to your property without your permission or a warrant.

My brother informed them that he no longer needed a TVL but still he has had 2 enforcement officers visit him on separate occasions.

In my opinion, the only way to make their system a fair one is to give citizens a proper choice and not one that uses threats and fancy language to intimidate and force people to pay for something they don't require.

Think of all the money the BBC could save if they actually followed the same type of system as other media companies such as VM and Sky.
