Are they really allowed to do that? Who gave them that power? Where the citizens ever asked? Why do I have to pay a licence that goes to the BBC if I never watch it?
Sounds really scary..like Gestapo of the XXI century in a "democratic" "free" country.
I have to say I pay the licence but dont really want to.
2 years ago I bought a computer monitor that happened to have a TV tuner at Argos.. at the cashier then they asked me to pay for the licence.. when I was using it for my computer.
Sorry for this rant. :-)

If you refuse to let them in, they get a court order, so there's no point refusing to let them in. They are also VERY flakey on the law. Last time they questioned us for ages about rips of TV dvd shows that were on my media server. They tried to imply that I must have recorded them from Live TV somehow and had therefore broken the rules.
Thanks for the replies. When I get home tonight I'll have a go at editing the file and see how I get on.
