General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

As I have said before, I haven't had a TV for many years now and, when I scrapped my last one, I phoned BBC TV Licensing to enquire about the need for a licence, as I only watch BBC iPlayer (plus ITV catch-up which makes no difference).

It was made very clear to me that, if I have any kind of device that will receive any of the BBC's programmes, whether I watch them or not, I still have to have a licence.

If you have such a device, then you can't prove that you don't watch.

It's as simple as that. Now, if the rules since then have changed, just read which services you need to have a licence on www.tvlicensing.co.uk.
