I remember a Scottish lady telling us in the ’90s about how they had vans that would drive around to find illegal TVs and the whole thing was just mind-boggling to me!

    In Norway you could make good money as an antenna port removal person, essentially filling it with solder or some such, and making paperwork confirming it had been done.

    If you had that piece of paper you didn't have to pay licensing fees, as it was tied to the antenna port. Funnily enough most everyone with a top box used the scart for television, so it didn't really make a difference.
