Nope, if you're watching TV programs on your computers or smartphones (iPlayer) you still have to pay UK TV licence.

Nope, only if you're watching live (as it's being broadcast) TV.

I believe a TV license is required to watch the live streams, not VOD content.

Like others have said, its only applicable to live streams. I very carefully read the terms before i stopped paying the license.

Husband => No husband Affluenza => Spartanism Car => No car Probably a whole lot of other things. Somewhere in there all that led to: Chronically Ill => Not Chronically Ill. Definitely don't plan to go back.

  Chronically Ill => Not Chronically Ill
How did you achieve that?
