actually dave, you can get away with it if you only use it for dvd playback. i got away with it a few yrs ago. but you have to prove that you can't receive tv broadcasts.. ie.. have no antenna at all, and your tv or vcr can not be tuned into any channel whatsoever, as long as it's not tuned in to a channel *and* doesn't have an antenna, they can't prosecute
i get away with it all the time.. i refuse to pay for a license to watch tv.. not that i watch that much anyway. but a simple rule is, they can't prosecute if they don't know your name, they can only obtain your name from legal methods, ie they can't harass neighbours or look through your bins etc 'data protection and privacy act'. when they knock on ya door, you don't have to tell them anything, you don't have to let them in either.. and never sign that form they give you to say they have been etc.. once you sign that form they know your name and it also gives them rights of entry (via court order) the next time they visit.
