As I understand it, in england ALL receivers must be licensed. Unlike the
U.S. where there are no restrictions on the Reception of broadcasts, and all
taxes and fees are levied at only broadcasters, in englad you must have a
license to own a receiver.
Here in the U.S. if a signal is being broadcast it is legal and acceptable
to receive it and there are no restrictions on receiving a signal. There
may be restrictions on the Decryption of the signal as covered by the DMCA,
but the actual reception is not controlled.
The catch in the US being that ANYTHING that generates an RF signal counts
as a transmitter and thus must be licensed by the FCC. SO almost any
electronics has to have an FCC approval before it can be sold.
It ties into the US policy of freedom of the press and speech.

Thanks, all, for your input. I knew I could count on this list for
information and entertainment!
So, to sum up:
1. I should expect 40% of my salary to be taken by the government, maybe
more, as I am a foreign national. (Thanks for the salary calculator,
Jeremy. That's handy.)
2. Buy a car over there, preferably a beater, until I get used to being
on the wright side of the road. The car allowance will probably be taxed as
income.
3. Stay away or close to the Essex women. Gotta watch out for those
stilletto's.
4. License for the TV. I had heard about that my last trip over.
5. Find a place near a tube stop.
6. No hunting with dogs, cigarettes or guns. (whew!)
7. Be sure to do the social things with the team, pubs, etc.
8. Don't be wary of the fags.
9. oh, and I'll be watched on camera's all the time. Even those lonely
nights.....
I'm quite excited about this new adventure. I certainly hope my permit
comes through. God bless the Queen!
Spencer
