17. You can look at watching TV as broadcasting too
there are small amounts of RF that are emitted when electronics are used that can cause interference.
Every time you use your tv, you are obligated to adhere to part 15 of the FCC rules & regulations.
In the UK, they don't track people down simply for watching TV. They track down people who haven't purchased a license that are are using their TVs anyway.

PBS may be government funded but it is also funded by donations from the public! It isn't a government run TV network. Even if it was, it's far more lucrative to get revenue from the private broadcasters than from the viewing public.
