The court would probably think it reasonable to consider them to be TV signals- because that's what they are.
You can't because it doesn't detect spatial frequency.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_frequencyIt would be better if you stopped being silly.

If we pay taxes, and the government uses our taxes to support the BBC, aren't we technically the investors anyway?
They are carrier signals
If we pay taxes, and the government uses our taxes to support the BBC, aren't we technically the investors anyway?It's true that you are one of the many millions of investors and thus you have some tiny degree of influence.

And where is my share of Revenue
Science is thinking, thinking is science!
If I am a member of the public, I part own the BBC, therefore I do not want a licence because as a shareholder I have that right? They are fining people for something they own...Do I win?
outlaw the TV licence.... It should never be a criminal offence, there is no victim.

The bigger the radiation source the more expensive the tax licence
Quote from: TheBoxThe bigger the radiation source the more expensive the tax licenceRadiation sources are the TV transmitters, mobile base stations, hand-held cellphones and WiFi-enabled computers.Television sets are a radiation sink - they absorb the intentional radiation, while accidentally emitting a very small amount of electrical noise from their electronics.I think you are proposing a measure of the size of the television receiver, not the size of the television transmitter tower?In the past, TV detection vans could prowl the streets, looking for this accidental radiation from radio & TV receivers to see who was listening to radio or watching TV. Today, with better radiation shielding in consumer electronics, and the dominance of digital devices producing wideband noise, it is probably not so easy. But an increasing amount of content is now being consumed online (Youtube, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, etc), so the license police now just make a list of all the IP addresses visiting their site, and compare that to the IP addresses that have paid for a license...
You need to be covered by a TV Licence to watch or download BBC programmes on iPlayer – live, catch up or on demand. This applies to all devices and providers.Don't forget, you also need a TV Licence to watch or record programmes on any channel as they are being shown on TV, or live on an online TV service – on any device.
Do I need a TV Licence to watch YouTube?No, you do not need a TV Licence to watch YouTube videos: you are not watching live TV content as it is broadcast. TV programmes that are uploaded to the video site following their broadcast follow the same rules as catch-up TV.Do I need a TV Licence to watch films?A TV Licence is required to watch films only as they are broadcast on live TV. Films enjoyed following their broadcast via on-demand services, and those provided via DVD or Blu-ray, are not subject to the licensing requirement.Do I need a TV LIcence to watch Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video?No, you do not need a TV Licence to watch Netflix or LoveFilm. The content provided by these services is offered on-demand; that is, it is not streamed as it is broadcast. If either service starts to stream live TV then a TV Licence will be required.
Why not make the licence a honest licence. By this I mean have the licence as a sort of radiation tax, the bigger the radiation source the more expensive the tax licence? Surely the poorer people of the nation who cant afford huge televisions would then benefit from this and not mind paying a lesser fee that equates to their status in society. Richer people with big televisions should pay more than a poor person with a small television. A fee could be set at x amount per inch, around about the £2.50-£3.00 an inch being a honest price.
