That's fine, but what's becoming more worrying is how easy it is to get live TV streamed over the Internet now - basically everyone with a PC and a broadband connection has the capability to watch live TV, (even if it's only News 24!) and that's the definition of requiring a TV license )-:
That's not true. According to the current rules, you need a TV license basically if you have a tuner in your house. This includes TV cards for PC's but does not include people with broadband that download all their programming.
I know several people that own no television and download all their programming and so do not pay the license fee. Having said that, as more and more people do that, I expect that the rules will change.
