Actually... it's consumption of live TV broadcasts specifically (you can consume news, radio, and BBC iPlayer catchup without paying a penny), and it covers all live TV - even if you only watch, say, Channel Five online, and never access any BBC content, you have to pay the fee.
- nailer 12y agoOnly if you never use 'watch live' in iPlayer. See http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/tv/tvlicence http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/tv/tvlicence
- vertex-four 12y agoThat's what I meant by catchup.
