While there's currently no tax on TVs themselves in the US, so over the air broadcast TV is still free and untaxed, if you have cable, you're definitely being taxed: Just look at your cable bill.

But yes, the Brits actually have an annual TV tax on the device itself.

It's also being eliminated in June by an act of Congress...sorry. Unless you have a little box which will allow them to tax you.
