Television

If you watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV you must, by law, be covered by a TV Licence, no matter what device you're using.  If you do not apply for a licence it is very likely you will receive a fine.

It is easy to apply for a licence and you will be required to pay each year.  The TV licensing service manages your account either online or through the mail-depending on your preference.
