He's taking the PC to Uni halls of residence, Reg. You do need your own license there. God I hate the beeb / TV Licensing Nazis, when I was at Uni five students were caught and given the maximum fine 'to make an example of them'.
B******s, they are. I wouldn't mind if there was anything decent on the beeb but it's getting worse than bloody ITV
High time the beeb paid for itself through advertising, they advertise their own crappy products anyway.
Sorry, rant over, back on topic

if your living in halls you dont have to let them in to check that you have a tv, so you wont get caught

they use equipment to test for tvs, they dont need access to the halls although they do have to tell the uni when they are scanning

Yeah, I have one of those freeview USB thingies too, they're pretty good!
When I was uni though, there was no such thing as a PC TV Tuner. I had to hide my portable telly behind the facia board that covered the plumbing for the wash basin in my room whenever I knew they were scanning the area
Never got caught

students get court out the most so yeah just rip it out its so easy:
Step 1: remove power from computer (pull the ketle lead out)
Step 2: Press the on button on the pc this drains the MB of all power
Step 3 push both hands on the shell to remove static
If you remove the kettle lead and then touch the case you will not remove static. The kettle needs to be plugged into both the pc and wall socket (doesnt have to be turned on) as the static electricity will then pass through the case from you and straight down the lead through the earth pin and to ground.
This I learnt at college where I studed microelectronics and computer engineering.
