I read that there is no such thing in Germany. The gov't charges you a tax regardless if you have a TV or not. True?

True. The government charges a tax on every electronics device that can access the news: radios, computers, TVs, etc. If you own one of these devices, regardless of whether you access the two free news channels, you will be charged this tax.
I am not sure how much it is exactly, but I think it is minimal.
Hope this helps!
