I thought us Americans paid to watch TV as well.

This. Except that time when I unintentionally leeched my neighbor's cable.

Unless you guys in the UK have to pay the government and then a private company for service. If so, what does the final price tag per month wind up being?

You just pay the tv license which is about £12 per month which gets you basic channels but your really paying for the BBC http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC

Then you have subscription services like sky and Virgin just like you have in the states and get shit loads of channels that can be £20-50 per month

Solution: Don't watch television.

:D

If you have an aerial you have to have a license, whether you watch it is irrelevant

You'd probably need one if you have an Internet connection as well

It's more that I was surprised that not only do they need to pay for television, they need to have a license to do it legally, which just sounds ridiculous.

Not that I actually watch tv ever, but you know.

Crazy stupid stuff. It does make you want to just get a nice monitor and say goodbye to the tv.

I'm also sure you need a Tv license to watch stuff on your PC, like Netflix, TV Channel streaming...

Nope, you only need a licence to watch tv live as it's being aired or record live tv. You can watch online tv as long as it's not a live broadcast.

Also, you're not really paying for the BBC. That's just a bonus

Anyone in Hertfordshire BTW?
