Does the law also apply to to USB Freeview gadgets, I wonder?

In the good old days, I bought a Sega Game Gear, and its TV tuner.

When I bought the Tuner, they asked for my name and address. I refused,
on the basis that the tuner cannot, on its own, be used to watch or
record TV. When I then bought the game gear, they tried again, and I used
the same reason for refusing.

I still walked out of the shop with both items bought.

USB sticks or TV Cards would seem to me to be under the same excuse.
