[Nottingham] Media Centre Linux distro?

[James Moore]

Perhaps even littler known:

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!!*.

"Bye, Judge, my phone is a Nokia 3310 - if you can get THAT to decode an 
internet stream through iplayer, then I'll HAPPILY pay the TV license 
fee, but as it is, it makes and receives calls and that's why I bought 
it and that's why I haven't upgraded it - it still works!"

Oh yeah, I've walked out of Nottingham Magistrates' "Court" with that one.
