So as there is no analogue terrestrial TV now, all TV, colour and B & W reception would have to be done on equipment capable of "receiving" colour transmissions, hence a colour licence should be required.
We've been here before, Mike - see https://golbornevintageradio.co.uk/forum...p?tid=7174&pid=78248#pid78248
It is not the ability to display colour programmes which is important but the ability to record them (so that they could later be displayed on a colour set) which attracts the colour licence.
If you think about it logically, if your statement was true, everybody watching BBC2 transmissions from 1967 onwards or any channel after 1969 on a 625 line B & W set would have needed a colour licence!
I wonder what the result of the revolution would have been if you were right!
