Is this info on their website? I find it very hard to believe that the
TVL people (who are a wholly-owned money-making subsiduary of HMG)

The TV Licensing Authority is actually a wholly-owned money-making
subsidiary of the BBC. Whether this qualifies as a subsidiary of HMG
is somewhat debatable! ;-)

Did you know that it is illegal for a dealer to supply a TV card and not
record the buyers name and address and then pass this information on to
the
TV Licencing authority within 28 days?

Give fake details or if mail order get it sent to a mates house who has a tv
license ;-)

Our local Tescos didn't bother when I bought my TV. Then again I wish
I hadn't of bothered with a Wharfdale TV, its horrid.

Did you pay cash or Credit/Debit Card? They could get your details off
the CC company, or is that a violation of the Data Protection Act?.
