You need one to watch or stream any live TV or BBC iPlayer.
If you watch or stream any live TV or BBC iPlayer shows on your laptop, tablet, phone, or any device, then you need a TV licence. It’s the law! This also now includes Youtube, Amazon Prime, and Netflix if you watch any live broadcasts on these services.
If you only watch on-demand content on streaming services and TV, then you don’t need to get one.
