My house I rent out has no aerial and I made it very clear. While we were living there we tried EVERYTHING to get tv reception, gave up in disgust and went to satellite. You can get snow on analogue but no digital without a 50-100 foot tower and lots of boosters, and analogue drops off in a few months anyway. The entire town is on Austar as a result - the house is just in a known TV blackspot.
So now the house has 2 channels only on satellite TV and the settop box I gave them fried in a storm a while ago. Really should buy a new one and set it up for them next inspection and maybe throw in a surgebuster power strip too.
Conversely, the house has a brand new phone connection and is rigged for wireless broadband with perfect reception and the tenants aren't using either of those ...
We had the exact same issue when we moved in to the place we're renting at the moment and we were not made to pay the bill. I'd definitely take this to tribunal, good luck!
