Thread: Purchase TV without TV license

  1. #1

    Default Purchase TV without TV license

    Anyone know where can I buy a 32" - 40" LCD display/monitor (preferably without TV tuner) that I can use as a PC monitor without having to buy a TV licence?

    I really don't want to buy a TV licence for my computer.

    Oh, I thought that because it doesn't have TV tuner you can buy without a TV licence? Or am I wrong? Wonder how all the businesses buy their monitors for their offices....

    Esquire didn't ask for my license when I bought a HiSense 32" cheapie for the office last year (used as TV).

    Where do you find a 40" monitor without a TV tuner... >32" seems to all be "TV"s and not "Monitors"

    If it doesn't have a tuner, you don't need a licence

    That's right... but it seems monitors without tuners don't go much beyond 32"

    You find them, at least, in the digital signage space - kit like the LG M4210LCBA - pdf As a bonus you get something designed for 24/7 operation...

    Or if you know someone with a foreign passport then you can show that instead of buying a TV license.

    Really? Is that an assumption that you are non resident with a holiday home or you're taking it back to your country?

    I bought a 42" lcd and plugged my decoders into it. I have no TV tuner. Do I still need a TV licence?
    If you outlaw crack cocaine, only outlaws will have crack cocaine. If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns.

    Decoders qualify as tuners so yes.
