Turntable a CD player, tuner, and a valve amp a pair of decent speakers, Pre digital analogue flatscreen and a Blu Ray, no TV license required.

Soon be like Germany where they charge each household regardless of whether you own a TV or not.

It costs more than here and the TV is awful too!

TVL in Germany = GEZ and is required if you own a radio, TV or a computer, you should (if we beleive them) have one for each.....

 

Under the old GEZ system - If you have never had one then they had to prove that you needed one and like the TVL buffoons have no standing in law - deny them entry and there is nowt they can do.

 

However, once you have one it is extremely difficult to stop - unless you die or leave the country.... All that changed on 1-Jan-2013

 

We have friends who had to pay two fees due to Ms A meeting Mr Right having seperate apartments and then living together in her place. because He still has his previous apartment (being rented out for extra income) before the changes.

 

The current fee (note: it is no longer a licence) is about €18 per month per 'household' - even if you do not have any equipement. Only people who are deaf AND blind can now be exempt

 

As it is the GEZ have never taken any one to court over this, event though the warning letters state a 'fine' of upto €1,000
