Singapore has a similar thing since it used to be a British colony. Even license for radios as well.
We didn't pay for it as we were expatriates living in a high rise apartment. Each time the officer came to check the premises we scurried the small little TV away (hard to find a 13" in a 3,000 sq. foot residence.)
One day the new house keeper opened the door and let them right in, so from that point onwards we had to pay for the TV.
Just an FYI: do you guys read all the taxes that are imposed on the cable bills you guys get? That's the same thing, it's just not as upfront in time, nor is it called a TV tax, but damned if you call up your cable company and request that you don't want to pay it.
