    Do you still need a TV License if you watch the TV through your neighbours window?

      Michael, I wouldn't advise you put your telly through a neighbour's window in some vague attempt to evade the TV licence fee. That just wouldn't go down to well!

    Bit late to the game but it reminds me when they brought a TV detector van to the Creggan Estate in Derry in the 80s. I think it was less than hour before it was hijacked and burnt out. BBC, my arse.

      mogadishusneeze I agree and that's the same thing for those who watched this in Northern Ireland where they had to pay TV licences for both RTÉ & BBC TV programmes provided they have access to Irish TV channels alongside British TV channels for £145.50 which is$177.51 for today's exchange rate on XE since £1=$1.22 but if you are in Ireland it's about $176 since €1=$1.10

    If you start a tv channel funded by ads so your viewers can watch for free, any viewers in Ireland would still have to pay this tv licence and all of the money goes to rte and bbc. It essentially outlaws free live tv throughout Ireland.

      In Ireland 🇮🇪 the government pick the people who they argue with on live TV debates, a lot of Native Irish people are not happy with the amount of mass migration coming to Ireland, we are not allowed to suggest a discussion without being called a racist, while young Native irish people cant afford to buy a house here in Ireland their own country anymore, because of to many people coming here and to much demand for these hoses, forcing men and women still living at home up to their 50s still living at their family home, because they can't buy a home, while watching young men who claim they are asylum seekers come here, and we know they are realy economic migrants, coming for a financial better life, while a lot of irish people are dieing from suicide, or else moving out of Ireland to a more affordable country to live, becoming a burden on another country's housing and causing a ripple affect including our carbon emissions rising from mass migration and our extra population

      We, and every European country have a national broadcasting service. The tv license funds public service broadcasting. An American example would be PBS that has to rely on commercials to exist. Most National tv stations dont show adds. However, I'm sorry to say Irish television, because of our small population, takes adds as well. The best example of public funded broadcasting is the UK,s BBC. They export documentaries all over the world, so they would get some money back, or even make a profit.

It’s just interesting to see the small differences in how things work around the world. American television is about 25 to 30% advertising. It’s very annoying. Thanks again for responding.

    Unfortunately the irish government still has to much of a say in RTE and when it comes to public debates, the critiques are hand picked by government, and this is not fare because we all know there are two sides to all arguments, and why should we watch RTE when we can watch the likes of Joe Rogan or Philip Dwyer instead,

    nice programme clip and for the 160 euro tv license ,but £145.50 for northern ireland they are about $180 a year but $191.08 a year for Northern Ireland and United Kingdon if both the British pounds used in Northern Ireland and Euros in Ireland were converted to US dollars (€1 =$1.13, but £1= $1.31 for Northern Ireland & U.K. from Todays exchange rate). the solution is that eat both Ireland (ComReg) and the United Kingdom (Ofcom) should adapt U.S. tv licensing regulations in which the FCC gives TV licences to TV stations rather than ordinary households
