While you might be moaning about R250 a year for a TV licence fee, here it costs me 2,076 SEK per year (R3,500-odd).

Despite the fact that our TV isn't even plugged into an antenna and we don't watch the local TV at all, we have to pay it simply because we have internet devices that can be used to watch the streams online.

Yep, it really is that batshit.

So R250 for a TV licence a year isn't that bad. Bearing in mind that I'm of the devout opinion that TV licences are a draconian model and should be utterly scrapped.
