A monitor, as you used, always avoids the license, so you would still have
been safe, but even owning a VCR or TV and keeping it in the loft requires a
license now.
Ok, now you've got me wondering... I've never heard of anything like that
on this side of the pond. Why exactly do you have to purchase a license
to own a TV? Is it similar for AM/FM radios? ...
