Purchase TV without TV license

True, that's the reason I wanted to go and get my own one, but at the same time not be paying for his one as well... We don't even have his original black and white TV he took out the license on in the first place :P

Then just stop paying......

When you go buy a new TV, then get a new TV License.
 
last time I checked, only ambassador auctioneers sell tv's without licences.

You do require a TV licence when purchasing a TV from Takealot...you can't checkout if you don't have one.

I did purchase one on Friday, no license required. Perhaps they'll ask for it on delivery.
 
But you can still watch DSTV through HDMI, so this whole needing a TV licence if it has a tuner is just BS.

So what does Takealot know about you already? Do they have your ID number? Do you have a TV licence? If so don't you think it is just maybe possible that they did the check in the background and confirmed that you have a valid Tv licence and hence why it was not asked for ?????


As to the rest? The debate is dead and buried .

Hi.

I'm an IT reseller, and have a client who runs a call centre, and regularly buys 43" monitors (not TV) for displaying daily/weekly stats. He doesn't want TV's which would require licensing each one (business TV licenses are per unit, not per business or branch) and would also mean additional admin. He also cannot (and nor can I) afford to bypass the system (use a friend or use a foreign passport etc) as the penalties if caught would be pretty severe.

The 43" monitors that I have been providing, are no longer available, and I'm really battling to find an alternative. As Jacauc (thread originator) said, anything over 30" all come with tuners.

Anyone have details of any large (>40") monitors, please let us know. Preferably just FullHD (not Smart, not 4K, not curved)

Thanks.

If it has a tuner it will be sold as a TV. If it doesn't have a tuner it is sold as a monitor (hence the govt screwing us by charging higher import duties on monitors). Simple as that.
 
Thanks for that, Dairyfarmer. I do understand the difference between a monitor and a TV.

I'm just asking if anyone knows where I can get large 40"+ monitors, because my client does not want to pay TV licenses on each unit.

Mustek are the only company I can find who stock 43" and even 55" monitors, but right now they have no stock, and new stock only coming in September.
 
Dell have some 43’s from what I remember.

But I guess you want them cheap?

And why not 4K?
 
Thanks, Speedster... it seems you're the only one who gets the problem.

4K, Smart, Curved all add costs.
 
I do appreciate all the replies thus far... don't want to sound like a chop. Just very frustrated by all this.

Thanks.

4K - this is becoming the standard. It is like trying to buy a new phone that doesn't support LTE or 4G

He doesn't need 4K to display stats from across the room. And while I agree with you on TVs, you can still get Full HD monitors
 
4k is, at least, 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD). Larger screens generally have higher resolutions so they end up falling into the 4k neighbourhood purely due to the physical size. A FHD screen has a ppi half that of a 4K screen. A 40" 4k screen will have the same ppi as a 21.5" FHD screen (about 110). So it stands to reason that if they take a 21.5" FHD screen add more screen size, when it gets to 40" the ppi stays the same, but you now have twice as many vertical and horizontal pixels. The technology of getting 110 ppi onto the screen doesn't change, the panel just gets bigger. If the ppi scaled up with the screen size you would end up with half the ppi to get the same resolution and you end up with freeway digital sign board type pixels.
