Yup, there sure is and to get the license you'll have to jump through quite a few hoops. They can be "bought" from someone else thought, but usually they are very expensive this way, but quicker to get...
...
On second thought..
Forget the above, just having a lend of you. There is no such a thing ( as compared to some european country). Just buy a telly and turn it on. You will have to pay extra if you want to have cable TV (UBC).
To repeat... there isn't a license required to own a TV.
