Hi looking to purchase a new PC, i have found one but it comes with the following "TV Tuner"
====
Integrated Analogue TV tuner PCI card and Dell™ MCE remote control
====
I was wondering.. would i need to purchase a TV licence for this, even if im not watchin TV from the PC?
Any help is appreciated
Thank You

If it has a TV tuner then you will need a License...even if your not watching it.

You could just not tell anyone!
It's interesting that in Ireland at the moment, there is a debate amongst government agencies as to whether or not new live broadcast capable 3G phones require a TV licence.
Just an after thought

hmm i was thinking that... cos im not going to be using the connection... i'd probably just take the tuner out once i got the PC!
So surely i cant be "found out" lol.... can i?

A quote from the tvlicencing site:
"If you
use a TV or any other device to receive or record TV programmes (for example, a VCR, set-top box, DVD recorder or PC with a broadcast card) - you need a TV Licence. You are required by law to have one."
USE being the important word in that sentence... hmmm im still unsure
