I realised recently that I was hardly watching TV and was happy to give up my TV Licence. There is some time left on the Licence so I wanted to get a refund.

However the online declaration form wants proof of leaving the property.

Is there a Way to declare " I no longer wish to watch TV "?

If you've got a PC on Broadband you still require a licence because such a configuration can receive live signals.

Read Buenchico's link which he sneaked in while I was typing :) - - It's a better answer than mine.
Wrong Canary42:

''The law states that you need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch or record television programmes, on any device, as they're being shown on TV. This includes TVs, computers, mobile phones, games consoles, digital boxes and Blu-ray/DVD/VHS recorders.

You DON'T need a licence if you don't use any of these devices to watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV - for example, if you use your TV only to watch DVDs or play video games, or you only watch ‘catch up’ services like BBC iPlayer or 4oD.
About time they did away with all this nonsense.
