(Well, I do, but it's analogue.) They are now threatening to barge into my house (I live in Scotland). What rights do I have to repel them in view of the new Coronavirus legislation? It looks as though they set this business in motion before that came into force. If they turn up on the doorstep, can I tell them to keep 6' 6" away from us? What about a charm offensive --- invite them in, make them a cup of tea, show them round our televisionless abode? Would that get the bullies off my back?

Over the years they have obtained our names, perhaps through buying TVs etc, but thankfully due to the glorious Data protection act 1998, they can only hold your name for a maximum of 6 months, so the letters come back addressed to "The Legal Occupier" again soon. They have been at the door countless times over the years, and thanks to CCTV we never need to open our door to anyone we don't know. That said a few years ago they were waiting for us in the street, but simply saying "too busy to chat just now" chased them away. Once I even answered "probably" to the question of "do you require a TV licence" but without any evidence (access to home) or even my name they can't do anything. I feel sorry for the people who seem to think its still a criminal offence not to have a licence. Stop paying for it, you don't really need to anymore. I like watching them on the CCTV monitor, as we have a SKY dish bolted to the side of the house, this always makes me chuckle. One thing that tells me that the TV licence isn't important is the fact that over the 19 years we've not paid it, the maximum fine is still £1000. If it was really that important, should it not be higher??
