I noticed the same crap going on when I visited a bed and breakfast in Wales. They made a big deal of having "fully licensed TV". Good grief. I haven't watched broadcast TV in the U.S. for 12 years. Ditto for cable. I had DishNet for a brief time, but I was never home (900 miles away) to watch it, so it is gone. I own a 23" TV/Computer monitor to interface with my BluRay player and computer. It is mostly a computer monitor, but serves as a BluRay video monitor on rare occasions. No "TV" connectivity. No interest.

In England they have devices that can tell if you are watching tv in your house and then fine you if you don’t have a license
