I have no tv! and my laptop is so old any media file just kills it!! So nowI;ve gotta wait till monday, ring up and try to to explaint heye got it wrong or be fined £150 which i really really eally don't have!!

sounds like it sucks hard

i think it's your laptop because its possible for a computer to recieve television signals off the internet, but as you say it's crap old

well maybe during those 5 weeks, someone else might've made temporary use of your dorm, brought a tv in and watched it in there

otherwise, I don't really know how you might've offended it

A TV licence isnt a license to watch TV as such, its basically a license to own one and have it connected to an arial. The TV Licence basically pays for the BBC
