We don't. By choice. we can watch Netflix, amazon prime, BBC player etc if we really wanted to. But seldom do.
altho on that notes someone on here was talking of the latest BBC drama - sounded good. what was it called? May decide to watch that.

Back in the early 90s, I lived in a house with no TV. I got a letter stating there was no record of a TV licence at this address. I returned it, having filled in the reason I did not require one - I did not possess a TV. After returning 4 such letters over the course of a few weeks, there was a knock at the door one evening. They had come to check there was no TV and proceeded to search my house. Unsurprisingly, they did not find one. I got another series of letters the following year, but I managed to convince them via a phone call that I did not possess a TV.
Nescio, I found the same when I didn't have a TV from about 18- 22 ish. Although they turned up, but declined to come in and check, when invited to.
They seem better now- i think they understand there are a lot of other choices instead. I got rid of my licence in February... worried about possible lockdown, money, work and knowing I hadn't used it in at least months. I explained honestly to the licensing people what I did and didn't watch. They didn't seem surprised.
