View Full Version : why do the bbc have to use flat screen monitors
so why do they, every program with a computer in it has to have a flat screen monitor, and they aint cheap, stop spening out money on uneeded stuff and make some different programs than period drama or fly on the wall
and get rid of anne robinson forever

I have a question, if you had a portable TV (handheld sort) and you went to remote part of the country and hid out and watched BBC do you have to pay for a TV Licence?

And I'm wondering even if you do have to pay for one how the hell would they find you? Not having a clue which direction to point their attenas and all, even then they are short range attenas at that.

That advert is to mask the truth, they don't use handheld scanners, the BBC in conjunction with the MI5 have a network of spy satellites in a geo synchronous orbit above Britain which they use not only to find people who don't pay there TV licence but also to see what programs you are watching. If you think that's bad you should see what ITV is up to.

They can't scan into Lead Bunkers can they, no didn't think so. But then again I don't think you can receive terristral signals through a lead bunker either. Dam shame don't you think?

ER sorry for the spam, getting a dam slow connection at the moment :(
They can't scan into Lead Bunkers can they They will however, have watched you lug your TV into the bunker. At which point I've heard they turn real nasty and send Anne Robinson round in person :{
they dont have scanners it's a hoax, they look at the list of who hasnt paid, then they go round, sit outside for a bit to see if they can see the flicker of a tv, and if they can they go knock, simple as that

Hum Anne Robinson eh, better not do it then :|
dirtymb is pretty much right.
I've worked/work in broadcast and only one person i ever met actually thought that they could really check.
I think they have limited scanning facilities but, by-and-large its peoples guilt that makes them just own up to it at the first sign of a fine.

They do have scanners but they don't detect TV signals they read your brain waves and can detect even the smallest amount off gilt concerning the non-payment of a TV license.
It's true I tell ya, TURE :)

You know when someone is lying because they start making basic grammer and spelling mistakes, just like you.
