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.).
I can't claim credit here. Somebody else here on AAM ages ago used the "iron in the blood as TV receiving device" idea first.

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!
That's the sort of thing I was getting at BTW.
What if you said,truthfully, that you e.g. "moved in 6 months ago and don't have, or haven't ever owned a TV" ? In this case would the onus have been on you to dismantle or remove the "reception equipment"?
Licencing man?!Indeed.

Is he the man that goes through the database and visits all the homes that don't pay a licence to see if he can make you.
Or is he the man who only goes to a house, business etc.. if he recieves a report of an unregistered tv there?
Who says that this happened? Could the An Post/TV license crowd have acted on foot of a new PRTB registration or something like that?The issue of whether ESB should be passing my details on is one thing

Could you have signed up for/purchased anything over the internet that would allow companies to retrieve your name and new address?Nope, Clubman. The arrangement was entirely informal, no records anywhere. I was just paying him a few bob a week so I could start putting in furniture etc, which meant he couldn't rent it out to anyone else.
So, to me, either the ESB passed on the info, or the Post Office person took the info from my mail.
