incorrect unfortunately. you have to have a licence for equipment capable of receiving television broadcasts. Even if you only use your tv for games playing or film watching your are required to obtain and maintain a licence unless of cause you remove the tuner (disabling still leaves you in sticky water)

It's not compulsory unless you watch live TV. Using your TV for games consoles or playback of pre-recorded content (DVDs etc.) doesn't require a license.

Surely this is about tech maturing.

If you start off with nothing, learning to throw stones is a big step forward but them learning to use a catapult isn't such a big step even though it allows you to throw stones much further, with greater accuracy and with less effort.

The same can be said about applications these days. Take photoshop for example. the upgrades to this software were colossal at the beginning but current upgrades are more tweaks and minor features. This is because the application is maturing.

Can't the the same be said for our tech?

Can anyone help with some links?
