    @jaxlfc_jj @YaTerrynorris70 It’s not restricted to the BBC. If you watch or record live TV on any channel - either through your TV or through a website - then you need a TV licence. This applies whether you receive Freesat, Freeview or a pay-TV service in your home, & whether or not you watch BBC channels.

    @SVPhillimore Licence number is on all emails/letters. It's even down as the reference on my bank statements for each direct debit. That aside, don't watch anything live or +1 on things like freeview, or record then watch. Prime and Now have programming that fall into the live tv trap.

    @Nigel_Farage @reformparty_uk BBC should be subscription, but if it must be also available non-subscription so that old and/or poor can view live national occasions, Parliamentary debates, addresses to nation, etc, then let that be on Freeview with low-resolution VHS-level picture quality and mono sound.
