Rai license fee, do I have to pay it if I don't have digital terrestrial?

Dear reader, anyone who owns a television with a TV tuner is required to pay the Rai license fee. Not only that: as Rai itself specifies in a guide published online, "an appliance originally equipped with a tuner - typically a television - remains subject to the license fee even if the tuner is subsequently removed". If you are unable to watch TV with your television, the advice is to get rid of the device (which, being an electronic device, must be taken to an ecological island) and fill out the non-possession form, so as to be exempt.
