Ah, I stand corrected. I've just checked (which oddly enough is what I
should have done in the first place) and yes, there are two licence
fees, one for colour, one for black and white.

There are exceptions, such as if you're over 75, or if you're blind. I
don't get the bit that old foegies get TV for free, but if you're blind,
you still have to pay. Half price, but still have to pay.

What's REALLY odd, if you're blind there are still TWO licensing
models, one for colour and one black and white.

Ah, money gouging with bureaucracy at it's best.

I'm pretty sure at least a couple had replied no, turned off TVs cannot
be detected.
