BBC Licence Fees

I just looked it up on Money Saving Expert:

If you don't watch or record live TV or BBC iPlayer and only use other catch-up services or streaming services, you may not need a TV licence at all.

TV licences are only needed to watch or record TV at the same time as it's broadcast, or to watch the iPlayer.

So watching catch-up or on-demand TV using services such as Netflix, Amazon or Now TV, or catch-up services such as All 4 or the ITV Hub, doesn't require a TV licence.

The exceptions are if you're watching the iPlayer, or using other catch-up services to watch live TV.

The point about Diversity is that the best person has NEVER been the criteria for the job. The main criteria has been being a white male, as many high flying white women have found out.

I don’t think you can simply stop paying the licence fee and say you aren’t watching the BBC. If you have a tv , or any piece of tech that can play tv, it will be assumed that you can/ are accessing the BBC whether to watch live tv or iPlayer. You will need to take legal advice on this.
