You do need a license if you have a TVcard in you PC BTW unless you can
prove you don't use it (then why do you have it?).

And shops which sell such PCs are required to make you fill out a card
with your name and address on -- just as if you'd bought a new telly
from Dixons or wherever.

And has one ever done that ?

not here

Well, I haven't bought a new telly in years, but when I bought a PC plus
TV card at Aldi's back in 2001, they made me fill out a card w/ my
details on it.

And when I was in John Lewis's about a year ago buying a personal CD
player for my mum, I was at the counter with a bloke who was filling out
name address etc for a plasma screen he'd just bought, and...

So, yes, they do do that.
