No, the license fee is compulsory if you have a TV that is connected up to receive off-air TV programmes.
No aerial? No licence.
- pbhjpbhj 3y agoAerial doesn't matter any more (for a number of years), for example, watching live (broadcast) TV on a computer still needs a license. If the computer is a laptop, and you have a license at home, and you don't plug it in then you're covered away from home too, fwiw.
- Gordonjcp 3y agoDoes anyone watch live TV in real time any more?
- pbhjpbhj 3y agoSports fans. But yeah, all BBC online TV content also needs a license (it didn't in the early days of iPlayer); and recently they added a delay to podcasts (which you can't buy separately) if you're not a license holder.
