IIRC this is absolutely correct. Th only way to be officially legal was to have the tuner disconnected. However with freeview boxes etc connected via the scart that may not be enough unless you can prove not owninga freeview box. >The ONLY way to watch DVD and not need a licence is through a DVD player >and computer monitor not a TV.
