Hi All,<br>
<br>
I believe as the law is written it states that you need a license if
you *operate* equipment capable of receiving a broadcast signal, not
if you *own* said equipment. I haven't had a license for several
years despite having a TV for use with a DVD player & games
console.<br>
<br>
I've had TV licensing guys on my doorstep insisting that I need a
license but after pointing out that the burden of proof is on them
to show that I'm using my equipment illegally I've heard nothing
more.<br>
<br>
I'm not opposed to paying for quality content, I just think the
license fee is not the way to go about it.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Martin.<br>

Perhaps even littler known:<br>
<br>
You "need" a TV license if you own *any* apparatus capable of
decoding live broadcast, from analogue to digital terrestrial to
internet stream - TV, satbox, CATV, *MOBILE PHONE!!*.<br>
