Pint Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 "Is this how you keep the scouts away from the TV? That's a good one. How do you like your snipe cooked? LOL " I should have mentioned that im in the UK, and in order to watch live TV we need to purchase a Tv licence, which currently costs 145 per year, ( roughly $232 ) the revenue form this funds BBC Tv, BBC online, and BBC radio which in the UK is advert/comercial free. ( Radio licences were dropped a long time ago in favour of TV licences) The current penalty is a fine of 1,000 ($1,600 roughly) plus legal costs and a court apearance. Enforcament is carried out by comparing a database of addresses with and without Tv licences, those places that dont have a licence get threatening letters warning of the consequencies, and in some cases can expect a visit by an enforcement team. see here: http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/detection-and-penalties-top5/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Second Class Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Pint, serve me up a plate of snipe. I had no idea you were taxed at such a level. Amazing. Simply amazing. My apologies for my post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohanadad Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Thanks for all the input. TVs won't work for us since we don't have a place where we meet to store it at. I don't want to lug around a 45" TV in my car every week. I I found a Optima projector on Amazon for $300 that fits all criteria I'm looking for. Not cheap, but better than the $500+ that some of the other projectors run. Only downside (other than the price) is that there's no HDMI connector. I can get the next model up that has the HDMI connector, but it's not worth the extra $50. I'm actually hoping with the holidays coming up, prices will fall a bit due to sales or clearing out of this year's models, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
