You only need to pay a Licence fee to receive live TV signals, radio
is free and you can watch DVD/VCR over the aerial connection to your
TV without a licence. The licence is for the premises not the device.
This of course means that if you watch live streaming TV from the
internet on a computer you need to have a TV licence for the premises.
Compared to the cost of cable or satellite fees it is minimal.
