Same here - I don't have a TV since I moved house about 18 months ago.
I have no intention of getting a TV, either.
I regularly get threatening letters from the TV Licensing people, which
get immediately binned :)
I'm yet to have a visit from the "enforcement division" - which is a
shame because I know exactly what I'm going to say to them if they ever
turn up ;)

No, I agree - not something I'd do :)
However, it would mean that the OP wouldn't need to worry about what he
was watching on iPlayer. I also suspect that depending on how you
phrase "I watch iPlayer" to an enforcement officer could open you up to
prosecution. Some people would consider £139.50 cheap for a quiet
life (but not me) ;)
