  1. Using BBC websites without a licence is entirely legal. As is owning one or more televisions.

    You do not need a TV Licence to watch:

    Streaming services like Netflix and Disney Plus (excluding programs like live sports events/ live concerts)
    On-demand TV through services like All 4 and Amazon Prime Video
    Videos on websites like YouTube

    You need a TV Licence if you:

    Watch or record live TV on any channel or service
    Use BBC iPlayer

    Watching any live broadcast television with a BBC licence is liable to £1000 fine. But like all charges presented against you in court, they have to prove you were doing it. Technically thats possible with specialised listening equipment, but the man from Auntie doesn't have it. You simply never let a BBC license inspector into your house (whilst the TV is on), then you advise them they are trespassing and must leave your property.
    THE END
