Why would you need a license to own a television? Strange! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratch1.gif" alt="" />
I suppose the government just would not believe me if I promised them I would only use it to watch video. Oops, I just went and checked the licence and it's worse than I thought. It reads:
What You Need A TV Licence For.
You need a TV Licence to install or use any equipment to receive television programme services - for example a television set, video recorder, set top box, PC with a broadcast card or any other TV receiving equipment. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/Banghead.gif" alt="" />
I wonder what exactly they mean by the words 'install' and 'use'. Perhaps this could be tested, and the BBC brought to heel by depriving them of some much needed revenue!
