The whole TV licencing laws need a bit of an overhaul.
- People should be allowed to watch DVDs on detuned TVs (I use a video projector which doesn't need a licence, but a TV would)
- As mentioned earlier, "Every household, business or institution in Ireland with a television or equipment capable of receiving a television signal (i.e., an aerial, satellite dish, etc.,) must have a television licence" is just too broad. Anything with iron in it will be able to pick up radio waves, including us!
I watched the world cup on my PC via wireless broadband. Will they tax broadband I wonder? - another nail in the Irish telecoms coffin if they do.
