Quite so; the licence is for equipment _capable_ of receiving TV
broadcasts.

This used to be the case, but changed when other methods of home viewing
or uses for a TV arrived - like pre-recorded tape and now DVD, games etc.
Before it made no sense to own a TV but claim never to watch it - now it
does.

It would be a wise precaution to remove the tuner module from your TV
(and video if you still have one), this may or may not be possible.
