    		In Israel you don't need a license but the merchant is obligated to report every sale of a new TV and the person have to pay a yearly TV fee (senior citizens, women over 60 and man over 65, pay half prize). The fee is for one house or flat and it doesn't matter how many televisions you have.

    		Hello, here where I live in France the television license is mandatory except for seniors too. It costs about 100 dollars a year. I don't know if many people are fined though.

    The price of a TV licence is 109.00 UK pounds for colour and 36.50 UK pounds for black and white. Other countries do require licences and I believe there are cable tv licences in America

    I forgot to add that it is free if you are over 75 years of age and you only pay 50 per cent if you are registered blind. (Methinks they would be better with a radio.)
