As I recall, the situation with shared houses is partly the locks on doors thing, but that can be overridden if there are some communal rooms (for which kitchens, hallways and bathrooms don't count) or, I think, if you share a communal meal - this apparently being the basis of being a proper, single household, as opposed to a bunch of people who happen to live behind the same door. Otherwise a whole lot of teenagers need to get their own TV licences.

As for seanG's situation, I think it is clear they are not liable to pay for a second TV licence, but I don't know what they should do about the summons.
