What you are doing is paying a tax for a device that can receive television signals.
The govt here controls who broadcasts on what frequencies, just like your state authorities. And for that you pay the tax if you use their service.
Just like road and vehicle taxes or airport taxes.
If you have a monitor that does not have a built-in tuner then you can get away with it as you can obviously only play pre-recorded programs. This fails if you have an external tuner sitting next to it.
So technically yes, if you had a tuner card in your pc you might be able to bluff out of it, but the Sky digital dish or the aerial cable entering your house would be a dead give-away.
