Are there any cases where I no longer have to pay GEZ?

So in times of Amazon Prime and Netflix, we look at home almost as good as no TV. So I play with the idea of somehow getting around the GEZ. In any case, I'm no exception that could apply for exemption (normal earnings, no severe disability, etc.). I'm just wondering if it is not possible to cancel the "basic provider" that you will not receive any more TV and thus the GET is obsolete, even if you have no radio at home. Does anyone know if something works or you have to swallow the GEZ as a household just?

Since the broadcasting fee is charged for the opportunity to receive public-law programs in the apartment (approved by the Federal Constitutional Court), you must pay even if you do not have a TV or radio. Because you always have the opportunity, because you can always buy such a device. Incidentally, a smartphone or a PC is also a receiving device.

There are a few ways not to pay: you can emigrate or move to an apartment someone else is already paying for. Of course you do not have to pay after his death.

This website details the requirements for exemption. See point 12.

The cash of everyone to continue to properly subsidize their bloated, financially lucrative, stress-free area, guess, even blind have to pay. Do not think you have a chance…
