The way that the law is phrased would mean that this is technically correct but, as far as I know, in practice they only enforce it if you have equipment specifically designed for reception (e.g. a TV or a PC with a tuner card etc. versus a coat hanger or iron in your blood etc.).
Indeed.
Worth bearing in mind that a satellite dish or aeriel would be construed as "reception equipment" - telling the Licensing man that your TV broke down & you haven't replaced it won't cut it!
