Do I need a TV License for watching DVDs or Blu-rays?

Asked 6 months ago
No, you do not need a TV License for solely watching DVDs or Blu-rays. A TV License is required only if you use any device to watch or record live TV programs, whether it is on a TV set, computer, or any other device. This means that as long as you are not using your DVD or Blu-ray player to receive live television broadcasts or to stream live TV channels, you do not require a TV License. However, it's important to note that if you are using any other equipment or services that allow you to watch live TV, such as an online streaming platform, you will need a TV License.
