Alberta is not in the UK, brucie, the last I heard.

I think it's great to have some TV channels where the programmes never get broken up by the adverts that are poured out every few minutes on the commercial channels. Compared to what it costs to have commercial digital channels on cable or satellite, the cost is pretty low too - and of course, with them, you have to pay twice over, through the subscription and also through the adverts. "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch" - and even if you boycotted every itemm or service you ever saw advertised, you'd still be paying by having your minds bombarded that way.

Provided you don't have a TV set tucked away somewhere, that you're using without paying your licence, Stage Manager, I can't see that there's any real hassle in getting the occasional suspicious letter among all the other junk mail. There's no need to even reply to them anyway. They'd have to have some kind of evidence that you were breaking the law before doing anything, and if you aren't, that evidence doesn't exist.
