Do I need a TV License for streaming services or catch-up TV?
Asked a year ago
Yes, you need a TV License if you watch or stream live TV or use catch-up services in the UK. This includes streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+, as well as catch-up TV platforms such as BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, and My5. The law states that a TV License is required for any device used to watch or record live TV or to access any television content online. This applies to laptops, smartphones, tablets, game consoles, and smart TVs. Failure to have a TV License when required can result in legal consequences and a potential fine. So if you plan to use any streaming services or catch-up TV, make sure you have a valid TV License.
