Toaster - as far as I'm aware you'd need the licence even if you only used it for games. The licence isn't for watching TV, it's for owning any appliance that is able to receive the signals. I think you need one even for a VCR and no TV.

But I think there is a lot of scepticism about the TV vans, about whether they even do what they say. I know a lot of students who believe they are just vans with aerials glued on to scare people (if you're watching TV without a licence and you see the van cruise down your street, it 'could' be for you).

Someone might want to correct me as I'm in the UK and don't own a TV or anything that receives the signals so it's never been a concern for me.
