The wording of the TV license forms is very specific - if you use your equipment to receive a signal you must have a TV license.  

Even if your equipment has a tuner you do not need a license, so long as you do not use it to receive a signal.

If you call the TV license people and declare that your TV is used only to watch pre-recorded videos and DVDs that is perfectly acceptable (I have been doing this for 4 years).

What they won't accept is:
If you only declare it "off the road" when the TV license man calls at your door.
or
If your TV/Video/TV tuner card has all the channels tuned in to receive signals.

So to be doubly sure de-tune your equipment also.


EDIT: - DOH!  That'll teach me to read the rest of the posts before writing a reply myself.  Set of stingy buggers that we UK amigans are, knowing the letter fo the TV licensing laws  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Whilst there is little danger of the oceans boiling, the website you linked to is hardly worth responding to.

Having no references to peer reviewed work, it is not worth the bother of arguing against it as there are no facts to argue against, no body of work to criticise, just quasi-statistical 'arguements,' and a deliberate misunderstanding of the term 'greenhouse effect' taking up a large portion of the supposed debunking.

Oh, from the same site: DDT - a weapon of survival.  Yeah, right - tell that to the thousands of deformed children in Vietnam to whom the US government has yet to issue an apology after dumping tons of the stuff in the form of Agent Orange defoliant during the Vietnam War.

PS - slightly OT aren't we?

Apparently one (or possibly more) of the Spanish TV channels has 15-20 minute advert breaks at the start and end of film showings, but no advert breaks during the films.  Sounds like a good comromise to me, compared to the every-15-minute advert breaks on terrestrial and satellite channels
