You have to have a licence if you have equipment capable of receiving a signal. I argued sucessfully, that I don't have this. I do have a TV, and Video, and a Massive Video collection, but the TV in the house is not capable of receiving a signal, as one does not reach the house.
We don't get radio inside either, the walls are simply too thick, and the signal too week.
I phoned up the TV people and told them this, they agreed I was right, the bad letters stopped. Just for good measure they sent the detector van down to my place, got the damm thing stuck, and let all the sheep out on the road. The farmer was pissed off big time. I don't think I will ever see them again.
I am in N Wales, just oustide the National Park.
