On first point apologies I misread your post. However with regards your chances if enforcement decides you have infringed... Some random statistics pulled from the newspaper hits on the first page of Google for "tv licensing conviction". 10% of cases in magistrates courts are TV licensing related (200,000 cases a year). If they decide that you are one of the people that they prosecute your case will take minutes to be heard on a day when the magistrate hears a lot of cases of cases. 90% of TV licensing cases that go to court end in conviction. Most of these cases are indeed open-and-shut (the classic is "why do I have to pay for a tv licence when I already pay Sky?" - which is pretty much an admission of guilt). Do you really expect a fair trial under these conditions?
