Yes, this is correct but not for the sound receivers for the blind, but if you have a digital box or computer with TV card or anything like video recorder then yes you do need to buy the licence. Christine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Logue" <plsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I believe, even if you don't receive a picture, but you do receive an audio 
television signal, you are still obliged by law to purchase a television
license.

All:

please could you help someone on another list - his message as follows:


Hi All & Happy New Year to you all (any of you getting fed up of people
saying that yet?)
I'm trying to find out if anyone has any information about TV Tuners. RNIB used to sell a TV Tuner for blind people. Basically this was a small unit, 
similar in size to a portable radio, that broadcast TV programmes like a
radio - using audio, no picture.

A couple of people that I work with are looking at buying a TV and then
buying a freeview box to go with it so that they can get audio description. They haven't the money to by an LCD TV (especially the Sony Bravia), and, as 
they are blind and don't need to see the screen, I thought that a TV Tuner
would be more suitable.  Also, the TV Tuners meant that you didn't need a
license to use them saving more money!
Does anyone know of a TV Tuner on the market? If not, has anyone any ideas 
on a good solution to a simple problem?
