Other excuses given to officials by evaders last year included watching a stolen TV set, TV Licensing said.英國(guó)電視牌照局還說，去年有人為了不交電視費(fèi)編造出各種借口，包括“我們看的電視機(jī)是偷來的�！�
More than 400,000 people were caught watching TV without a licence in 2012.2012年，有40多萬英國(guó)人看電視不交牌照費(fèi)。
UK residents are legally required to have a licence if they watch or record TV at the same time as it is broadcast or could face a fine of up to 1,000.按照英國(guó)法律，居民觀看電視節(jié)目或在節(jié)目播出時(shí)錄像都要繳納電視牌照費(fèi)，否則將面臨高達(dá)1000英鎊的罰款。
A colour TV licence costs 145.50 while a black-and-white licence costs 49. In January, TV Licensing revealed that more than 13,000 households across the UK were still using black-and-white television sets.每臺(tái)彩色電視需繳納牌照費(fèi)145.50英鎊，黑白電視49英鎊。一月份，英國(guó)電視牌照局發(fā)布公告，全英國(guó)還有超過1.3萬家電視用戶仍然使用黑白電視機(jī)。
