There's a form to sign if you don't have a license to say you don't have one. Do this from the offset - I think it's on the back of your existing license - or call them, look up their web page and they'll send you out the form.
They do say that anyone without a TV WILL get a visit from them to check. I know of one person that they came with a garda in hand - even though individual just invited them in (I suppose gives extra weight if the person refuses - and I assume that he has a warrant).
Though in this case, they just looked in - they're not searching through cupboards for one you've hidden away. Mind you, they haven't called to me yet - but they'll be welcomed in with both hands, no TV near the place.
To get a search warrant the inspector would need proof you have a tv in the house ...
Incorrect according to [broken link removed]... those items on their own would be insufficient for a conviction..
Might be grounds for a warrant but those items on their own would be insufficient for a conviction.
Those items can be used to receive radio lawfully without a licence.
I seem to remember something about internet connections/PCs being brought under the legislation to require a 'TV' licence.
Dunno if it's happened yet though.
How that'll work with 3G mobile phones is anyones guess....
