That is really weird... before I was married my fiancee lived in a flat
and had a TV/Video combo, but no TV license, she just used to get video's
out of the Library and watch them. The first time the letter came she
simply replied with "I have a TV, but it is not tuned and I don't watch
TV" and never got pestered again :)
Will be interesting to find out how well that works, I intend to do the
same thing in the new year (after recording lots of Christmas telly)
