@AC

Works pretty similar to SORN to me.

I notify TV Licencing every two years. One letter, I've always got a polite reply back.

"Government slashes motoring red tape"

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-slashes-motoring-red-tape

"improving the regulation surrounding the notification process for vehicles that are not in use on the road (Statutory Off Road Notification or SORN) - once drivers have notified the DVLA that their vehicle is SORN, they will no longer have the burden of annual SORN renewal"

So, if the Government, in slashing motoring red tape recognised that the annual SORN renewal was a burden to the motorist, shirley they can apply the same reasoning to TV Licensing? Yes, TV Licensing notification is supposed to be every 2 years, but I've just got another reminder, and it's not 2 years since the last notification. Though their excuse this time is the change in law regarding iPlayer in September.
