I don't think it's an indictable offence not to provide tv licensing details, if so there's no legal way they can stop you walking out of the store with it.
Depends where you buy it from, from a business yes. From a private individual, no.

ASDA are a joke of a Supermarket.
Waitrose are a joke of a Supermarket.
Iceland are a joke of a Supermarket.
Etc.
It seems every Supermarket is a joke these days according to people online. Strange how I've never had a problem in one though!
Anything with a tv tuner (TV/DVD-Recorder/TV card/Blu-ray recorder (not sure on portables) )needs address or shop can be fined (not sure on individual if they gave fake) and is part of TV licensing laws.
For players:
a lot of the cases some shops will take details for guarantee purposes. So for players when a customer phones up and goes got a problem we can search by surname to find when they bought it. Plenty of times had customers phoning up going its only 2 years old when infact its 5.
If OP lost his receipt and bank statement from that period and it was only 6 months old. He be stuffed and then will try and blame the shop that they didn't take his details.
If you worried about it going to people like domestic and general (or any other insurance sods) tell them you don't want the details passed on. They *should* have a system for that.

That's irrelevant, as you have the choice to shop there and it's their terms and conditions.
Man up, seriously.
Sure they can refuse to serve him citing their terms and conditions before the purchase, but they accepted his payment and therefore the goods are now legally his - no, not when he leaves the store, but right now (the moment money is taken from him).
Therefore, unless they suspect him of stealing something they cannot stop him by quoting some "store policy" that doesn't override UK law.

I would have asked if I was being detained ?
Either way, I wouldn't give my name and address for a DVD player.

The whole TV license is a joke, where i work we have two foreshore stations, they have no IT or TVs and just a simple phone line. We had an issue where by ambalances cannot find us as they dont have postcodes. So we got two postcodes and now we get the letters from them saying license, inspections etc
We have rung told them not to waste everyones time as its just a foreshore station used 4 months a year. They said they can clear it for 6 months but we need to keep ringing back and we will get another letter!
So now we allow the inspector to visit every six months.

Whilst quite possibly true, I can't see what that has got to do with the sale of a DVD Player.
As you say the retailer *shouldn't* be selling on purchaser's details, and in my opinion should in fact be compelled by law specifically to ask if you want your contact details sold on, . . . however, they almost certainly will sell them on, again, and again and again

In the first, it's almost certainly a problem with training/the staff or the store system. If you worked in a shop, at not great wages, would you know the exact spec of every item that was sold - even if you mainly sold groceries, and only stocked say a particular bit of electronics kit for a few days/weeks.
The second, the requirement to pass on the details to TVL is a legal one.
Quite separate to selling the information on to third parties for a profit (which normally these days does require you to tick or untick a box).

Tbh I don't know why you are buying in a store anyway? Online is always cheaper 
Still, I would have told them to jog on.
