I've heard that in England -- and possibly all of the UK (?) -- there's some sort of really nasty taxation situation with regard to ownership of TV sets. And that some factor... taxes or something else... causes a person to have to pay through the nose to have a TV, and more so for every additional TV?
Is this true? If so, that sounds patently absurd, since here in the USA we could put hundreds of TVs into a house if we wanted, and all that would cost us would be the price of the TVs. (Not counting cable service, but that can be handled for free and without penalty with cable splitters.)
If this is true, what's keeping the Brits from rebelling en masse, to pressure Parliament for change?
Finally, is it possible to "hide" extra TVs within the house, so no one will know you have them? If so, are many people doing that?
