If I watch CD/DVD on TV, do I have to pay license fee in UK? And if I watch TV on PC with TV tuner card then?

What are the ways for avoiding TV license and watching TV. I dont like BBC. If I watch regional chanels on my satelite and dont watch BBC then also I have to pay license fee? I hope you understood my point.
Answer:

If you can prove you only watch DVDs or videos, then you shouldn't have to pay for a licence. There was a court case some years ago (before DVDs) where a man was prosecuted for not having a TV license. He showed he only used a TV to watch videos and had no TV aerial connected, and so was aquitted. If you watch TV on a PC, then you are still recieving TV transmissions so need a licence, even if you only watch local news on ITV via satelite.

You do not need to pay license fees if you are using your TV for the sole purpose of watching CDs or DVDs. I am not too sure about whether you need to pay license fees for using a TV tuner card on your PC. You do need to pay license fees even if you watch satellite channels and don't watch BBC.
