Hi,
As I can remember Sam hasn't got a car :)
I own a car and didn't plugged the antenna so I m unable to receive any FM Radio and so on. My building hasn't any antenna connection to cable or whatever.
But I'm lucky, I towed the guys from Billag a long time ago, and I guess i still have the mail where they told me I wasn't in the need to pay. But that was in fact before that * stupid addition * (my 2 cents ;) ) regarding the broadband access.
Maybe telling billag you have a pc, but have no microsoft or userfriendly software and any media viewer, as you are using your internet connection only for professional matters (as monitoring etc) could work.
The fact is, " Nul n'est sensé ignorer la loi ", but " c'est tellement marrant de jouer avec la loi quand on y arrive " :) (yeah I'm getting low cost, 1,5 cents for that one only)
Gimme a ring, or meet me for a beer if you have anymore question about that ...
BTW everything must be on the billag website, and I can remember we disscussed that some time ago on the list.
Cheers.
Will.

hi sam
some weeks/months ago we all got a nice letter (little booklet) from billag which explained the whole stuff. unfortunately i haven't got it at home. but they say that a broadband connection and windows pc with media player (or anything similar) can act as a radio and therefore you'll have to pay.
but anyway: do you got a car? does this car has a radio? if yes: you have to pay anyway ;-)) maybe you can take the billag then on expenses ;-))

Cost it wanted to make me pay the royalty for the radios. Because I had a broad-band connection and a PC!!! I shine request papers official on what it wanted to tax me, it unfortunately had anything on him has to present to me.
3 slanging match after !
I say to him that when www.couleur3.ch is typed I have the radios without anything asked and without warned that I must pay billag to listen.
It is to retract in me say that I had the subscription that it thought. It thought that I had the subscription of bluewin Internet + radios.

sam
