How many programmes have they got about property,houses,homes?
It pays to clean house once in a while. Cleaned the weekend ended up with 6 euro going back in my pocket
The TV licence pays for more than one show
What’s wrong with some saving money tips? Most people I know fecking need them.
I would love it, if the entire population of Ireland refused to pay there lience. We have bought enough coke for turbity.
Never paid it. Never will.
Turns on TV – turns on RTÉ – doesn’t like the show….tear the whole thing down.
Band of brothers is fantastic
I have no TV since I left parents house … 2005 …
What we need is public access TV. Let the real entertainment begin.
Why do we have to fund rte and then they run it with none of us in mind? No one likes tubridy but he’s still on every Friday and then they’ll cancel everything half decent
RTE is for retired homeowners without debt. It’s not even a babysitter for kids anymore when they’ve got YT.
This thread gets made here once a month and every time the usual suspects row in oblivious to the fact that RTE make programs for people who actually pay their licence fee. The scaling up/down of the amount of potential people to pay a licence fee as compared to the BBC in this country means we will never have enough from it to create content that appeals to all. So the folks at RTÉ look at the demographics that pay and program accordingly. It must shock some people here that RTE doesn’t pay attention to the constant whining that this sun goes on with wrt to the licence fee.

Imagine paying for a tv licence
In 1990 I got 30 days in jail for nor having a TV licence. I was told surrender myself to prison on the 24 Dec for incarceration or I had one final chance to pay a 150 fine. I paid the fine. A prison officer told me. They bring in a lot of these type of fines at Christmas most people just see the office and are let go home after a few hours. But if you act up at all you would spend the night. They have a lot of empty spaces at Christmas. Because a lot of prisoners get home leave at that time
Does anyone actually pay a TV license?
I stopped buying coffee every day and was able to save €100K. I was able to use this money to put a deposit on a small apartment in Dublin. Programes like this save lives.
Isn’t this the same girl who said you can just fucking powerwash your garden furniture as a “cleaning hack” ?
I haven’t had a TV for 12 years. It’s great. I watch stuff online but never randomly flick through crappy shows.
I pay….mostly because the fekkers came a knocking and my wife opened the door to them. It kind of irks me because I don’t even have an aerial or satellite tv connected or listen to the radio, but sure, its important to have a national broadcaster….no?
OP, put that Band of Brothers DVD on instead and forget about it
I saved €100k by secretly living in my works office, showering at the gym & meditating the hunger & want for material goods away/s
The TV licence is such a stupid idea
Yes it went to court. That’s where the 150 fine came from. It was for a shop that didn’t even have a TV. After several conversations with an post I thought it was taken care of. Until I got a phone call from the garda telling me to surrender myself. I’m sure you are always right. But I am not telling lies I got the 30 days. And however you want sugarcoat it. It was for not having a licence. BTW. This was around 1995 and I wasn’t the only one.
If you get a big computer monitor and a Chromecast or Apple TV you don’t have to pay it. Problem is they’re 400-600 euro for like 42 inch. You’d make you money back in a few years but it’s a big upfront cost. Always easier to save money when you have money.
I’m getting very tired of these middle class types on TV telling me how to save. Its very patronising darling
I am half thinking of buying a projector. Would I have to pay the TV licence for that if I got rid of my telly?
They tried to sue me because i ignored them for about a year, court came up… didnt show up, nothing happened
