what are you expecting? Something like:

"GEZ must be paid by germans but not by foreigners".

Stop dreaming...

Does not matter if you watch TV or not - important thing is that you have one and this means you CAN watch TV programs and this is why you have to pay.
You could not pay and in case they come to you to check - you are not obligated to open a door and also not obligated to talk to them, however if you decide to talk - you have to tell them the truth, otherwise it can be used against you in the court.

Well, to be honest - yes. I was thinking that there is some way when you receive Kranken Geld to be free from payment.

@deathinc
Look at www.gez.de . Only I can not find something by receiving Kranken Geld.

Its possible to be exempted from the GEZ TV tax only if you get the tv tuner component out of your set through a specialist,(cost about 20€) and provide the copy of receipt to the GEZ.
With this you would still be able to watch the FTA sat. channels (via scart)without paying to GEZ.

I know its sorta of weired but is acceptable with GEZ,some of my known have done it.

But for radio no way.

That would be discrimination (against germans), and we are not racist, are we?

I just asked about your mentioned Scenario, to get TV-tuner out of TV, but the lady told me that egal, bislang ich ein TV habe, und auch wenn ich durch Satellitenschüssel Program(auch wenn nicht Deutsch) empfängen kann, muss ich GEZ :-) bezahlen.

Otherwise, just give some details about it.
