Even if you only watch catchup tv and thus don't need one. That is the problem.

So if you don't let them in to your house it is safer legally for the householder, as well as not having to let a stranger in to your house that has no legal right to come in.


just because you may have had a bad experience with TVL doesn't mean everybody does .I would suggest (and i'm not suggesting you are one) that the people who have trouble convincing TVL they don't need a licence are those who belong in the 400,000 per year group .But if you won't let them into your house that is your prerogative just don't be surprised or go on forums complaining that TVL try to get into peoples houses to check their licence or lack thereof
