If you have a TV you need a license. Simple as that.
I know, but you can hook up a dstv decoder (that isn't capable of receiving a tv signal) to a plasma/lcd display that doesnt have a tuner (and therefore also isn't capable of receiving a tv signal)
Why don't you just get a plasma with a TV tuner then? They are way cheaper. 42" = R5700, 50" = R7500ish, 50" FHD = R12,000ish.
Seems like I'll have to. The ones without are just too expensive, I guess because they aren't "consumer" items.
