Re: TV licence for watching online live streams
Neighbour doesn't have a TV, and hasn't had once since 2005. They get harrassed about 3 times a year by TV Licence Inspectors, who refuse to believe they don't have a TV hidden away somewhere.
They have even let the inspectors search their proprty, on multiple occasions, and each time the inspectors go away empty handed, but they still keep coming. One inspector tried to claim that they needed a licence for their computer because they might watch TV on that. Their computer has no tuner card, I know for a fact because I built it, and maintain it for them.
Annoying people them inspectors, however he did his research and he knows the TV licencing laws as good as any lawyer.
You only need a licence to watch or record a TV broadcast while it is being broadcast.
If someone else records it for you, and you watch that recording, no licence is needed.
No licence is needed to own a TV or equipment capable of recieving a TV broadcast, provided its not used to watch or record a live broadcast.
