Re: Do I have to get a TV licence from Billag?

This is true. But if you check the definition of such a "multifunctional" device (given on http://www.billag.ch/web/de/fragen_u...eraet_mfg.html and already discussed in this thread) you will see that a condition is to be registered with a service provider that allows you to watch streaming television.

Cablecom used to provide streaming of some tv channels to subscribers, which is why they are relevant here.
Exactly.

If you throw your old TV into a pond you don't need to give any money to Billag. But if you through it into a river the fact that the TV is being streamed means you must pay. So check the flow of the water carefully before dumping.

Back in Blighty its the same with shopping trolleys.
