All,

I think we should be wary about suggesting RNIB don't know what they are 
talking about with regard to TV licensing, as it appears that the TV Licensing 
Authority don't know what the rules are either.

Based on what has been said in this thread, I should have a license for my 
computer.  However, earlier this year I contacted TV Licensing to tell them I 
no longer had a TV set and wanted to cancel my license.  They said that was 
fine.  Why is that confusing?  Because I contacted them by email, from my 
computer.

So, if I needed a license to cover the potential of my computer to receive 
signals, they shouldn't have accepted my cancellation.

Go figure!

Ken
