The only way to legally avoid it is to watch a portable battery powered hand held TV.
Pay the licence dude, its keeping the BBC commercial free.

I lived in the Uk during the mid 1980's. My understanding is that the TV license was only for the over the air BBC. ITV and Channel 4 were supported by advertisments the same as is the normal standard here in the US. Unless the BBC has gotten even more greedy Internet TV and Satellite TV like SKY probably would not require a license. If you havea card in youor PC that gets brodcast TV it would also require a license per the link below

Legally speaking, you need a TV licence if you use any device to receive television pictures in the UK - including satellite or cable, and even internet TV.
However, there is some legal doubt about this (see second article below) , and in any case I wonder how they expect to catch you.

The TV license pays for terrestrial BBC television, freeview channels, Radio including digital radio ,Internet streaming and BBC websites.
If the license keeps enough quality TV and radio and on-line content and stops the intrusion of adverts then I'm for paying up though you may just be able to wangle an avoidance of payment though you may be on dodgy ground if you have to declare to watching illegally sourced content via the Internet.
Currently if you have just a DVD and monitor and can prove you have no tuner then the likelihood seems to be that you can avoid payment.

properly i do no longer agree. i think of the license value is amazingly solid fee for each thing you get with - each and all of the BBC television channels, which comprise the freeview channels, each and all of the radio stations, and all the different cool stuff the Beeb does. I hate classified ads, particularly on the radio - i think of its magnificent the BBC is unfastened from classified ads. ITV continuously has to make beneficial it pleases its advertisers, surely they're greater substantial to ITV than the visitors. you will by no skill discover classes like Watchdog and that's existence on ITV because of the fact the advertisers could by no skill enable it! They completely administration what you're allowed to observe. do you elect them to own you thoroughly? The BBC could be ruined if it had to rely on classified ads, and it may be the tip of existence in Britain as all of us recognize it! God keep the BBC!

you just plug it in, turn it on and thats it, you are now watching tv.
BUT, it is illegal to watch tv without a licence, and you could end up in court and get a big fine.
i'm, not sure about internet tv.

Reading the booklet instead of viewing the movie is the ultimate way to see what the writer expected. Reading uses your imagination, hones your reading skills, and can improve your vocabulary
