It's a HMO (five bedrooms or more) If a TV licensing guy come to the front door and I say, "yes there is a TV in the house but as far as I know no one watches it and personally I don't watch TV" then how are they going to determine WHO to fine ??? :o)
....and as far as I know just having a TV in the house is no offence. In the BBC's literature it states you are committing an offence if you "watch live TV or watch recorded TV without a licence". A TV not in use or that is only connected via HDMI to a laptop to watch youtube videos is therefore not breaking the law. Correct ??
