You need a TV license in UK. Sounds about the same cost, they probably got the idea from us. Sorry!
Did you guys hear about compulsory payment to National Television Network ORF in #Austria ? I got a bill of 153 of european shitcoin.
In the past it was charged pro television set in a household and was collected by a clerk going door to door.
As these clerks have been verbally abused(clearly), denied the payment and also due to increasing amount of households that don't posses a tv set the clownstate managed to make it compulsory by law, independent from existence of a tv set in the household.

Any other state that demands payment for the propaganda ?

🤣 but you pay it only if you want to access tv broadcast or everyone pays indiscriminately?
As I understand it, it's for watching any sort of 'live broadcast' but I don't know what would be arguable in court. I didn't used to get one as I only watched YT etc, not any terrestrial stations.
So here since 2024 it’s just per household independent of media consumption 🤣
Not just live broadcast... Any access to BBC iplayer now also counts as TV licence.
So do you have to pay it preemptively or only on demand?
Still on demand. "inspectors" still go door to door trying to see if you are watching live TV 😂
In the past it was the same way in Austria, and the collector GIS was basically not a state’s authority. From 2024 here they put it into law and you just get the bill per post.
