These people have no right of entry and should be politely asking if I wish to purchase their service, not threatening or terrorising.<br /><br />I use my TV's for all the purposes they can accept for watching (or recording) broadcast TV as it is broadcast. This includes using as a PC monitor, they make the best PC monitors, I sit a PC next to each TV where they can watch on demand TV after it is broadcast, they are linked so all TV's can see what the main TV see's, to a certain extent, they can be used for games (42" gaming rocks:-)) and networked gaming too, could have a wee LAN party, watching DVD's, Blue Rays coming, still got the odd video, as there's a PC there now it becomes a great MP3 player, masses of memory going through the surround sound and also a CD player, with a magnificent display and of course don't forget listening to the radio :-), I also blog a bit more than I used to and so read more.<br /><br />From Wiki;<br /><br /><i>"Van Eck phreaking is the process of eavesdropping on the contents of a CRT- or LC-Display by detecting its electromagnetic emissions. It is named after Dutch computer researcher Wim van Eck, who in 1985 published the first paper on it, including proof of concept. Phreaking is the process of exploiting telephone networks, used here because of its connection to eavesdropping.<br /><br />Van Eck phreaking might also be used to compromise the secrecy of the votes in an election using electronic voting. This caused the Dutch government to ban the use of NewVote computer voting machines manufactured by SDU in the 2006 national elections, under the belief that ballot information might not be kept secret. In a 2009 test of electronic voting systems in Brazil, Van Eck phreaking was used to successfully compromise ballot secrecy as a proof of concept."</i>rog_rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00966463971778178174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-61080510987125262692011-06-17T21:48:40.111+01:002011-06-17T21:48:40.111+01:00The BBC say that they design and make their own de...The BBC say that they design and make their own detection equipment.

Who said the TV licence was for the benefit of all? The only beneficiaries from the TV licence are the BBC and the over-75s. In the latter case, they feel good about the TV licence because they're getting something for free (free to them, but paid for by the tax payer). Rejecting the TV licence is not cheating. Let the people in office understand that the TV licence is a crap idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-88575853201222774802011-02-09T20:07:31.890+00:002011-02-09T20:07:31.890+00:00@ Anon above:

I did fight TV licensing, in my capacity as an advice worker, for many years over many. aspects of its operation.Their powers, which are similar to other revenue organisations, were definitely based upon anyone is guilty until proven otherwise- which given the all encompassing legislation was difficult.
