> No TV license, no TV for you.

Specifically, fee-funded television programming. No one is stopping you using a TV for other purposes or alternative streaming options.

In the UK, they literally are.

The law says you need to be covered by a TV Licence to:

watch or record programmes as they’re being shown on TV, on any channel

watch or stream programmes live on an online TV service (such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV, Sky Go, etc.)

download or watch any BBC programmes on iPlayer.
