Do I need a TV license to watch BBC programmes?
Asked 6 months ago
Yes, in the UK, you need a TV license to watch BBC programmes. It is a legal requirement to have a TV license if you watch or record live TV or use BBC iPlayer. This applies regardless of the device you use, whether it's a TV, computer, tablet, or mobile phone. The TV license fee funds the BBC's services, including television, radio, and online content, ensuring unbiased news coverage and a wide range of cultural and educational programming. Failure to have a TV license when required can result in penalties and prosecution. Some exemptions may apply, such as for solely watching on-demand and catch-up content from other providers or if you are visually impaired. Verify your specific circumstances on the official TV licensing website.
