Did your monthly cost drop by much?

The RNIB website says
"You do not require a TV licence if you use a digital set-top box solely to listen to television programmes through a hi-fi or stereo system. The set top box must be incapable of recording and must not be connected to a device capable of showing images. "

So you don't need a special sound-only box. Any standard non-PVR will do.
