@sarah_marsland @BuntingKev @BROKENBRITAIN0 I don’t agree with it but that’s the situation

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@sarah_marsland @BuntingKev @BROKENBRITAIN0 No - I’m just clarifying the situation as people really don’t know. Check Google if you don’t believe me.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@HuibjanM @BROKENBRITAIN0 You still need a tv licence for watching live tv on any stream and on any device in the UK.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@GreyMatters581 @BROKENBRITAIN0 You do if it’s live tv in the UK.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@karlaustinrance @BROKENBRITAIN0 Sorry it’s a government tv licence. Not a bbc licence. Check Google if you don’t believe me.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@paulv71314296 @BROKENBRITAIN0 It’s a tv licence issued by the government to primarily fund the BBC. That’s the difference.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@paulv71314296 @BROKENBRITAIN0 Check Google - I’m right.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@HuibjanM @BROKENBRITAIN0 Yes but in this country you need a licence to watch live tv on any device and from any channel. That’s the law. Up to you if you want to adhere to that!

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@WolfBlad3 @BROKENBRITAIN0 It’s not a bbc licence - it’s a tv licence (on any device these days) used primarily to fund the BBC. It’s basically a tax by the government to fund the ‘state’ broadcaster.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@Anamiaghost @BROKENBRITAIN0 Plus:
A TV Licence covers
•Live streaming: Watching live events or simultaneous broadcasts on any streaming platform (such as YouTube, Netflix, or Amazon Prime Video).
•
•BBC iPlayer: All content on BBC iPlayer, whether live, on catch-up, or on-demand. [1, 2, 3]
•

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@Anamiaghost @BROKENBRITAIN0 Just for clarification and you are correct:
A TV Licence specifically covers:
•All live TV channels: Broadcasts on traditional channels like BBC, ITV, Channel 4, and Dave.•
•Pay TV services: Live or recorded programs on Sky, Virgin Media, or EE TV.•

@aetherworlds0 @BROKENBRITAIN0 It doesn’t physically stop you doing it at tge moment - just that it’s not legal!! And they will get better at monitoring it as people are refusing to pay in greater numbers so watch this space.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@aetherworlds0 @BROKENBRITAIN0 I understand people’s frustration at having to pay the licence fee for watching ANY live or on demand TV on ANY device (and that being used primarily to fund the BBC) but that’s the legal situation which some misunderstand.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@Alistair1965 @HighwitHouse @PaulEmbery You need a tv licence to watch on demand TV too. Check out what the TV licence is for - it’s quite limiting (legally) without one.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@REBHFollower @BROKENBRITAIN0 It’s collected by the government - it’s a tax at the end of the day. Primarily it is used to fund the BBC.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@tranceboy00 @BROKENBRITAIN0 But legally in this country you can’t watch any live tv on any channel on any device without a TV licence - eg sport, news on Sky, Paramount, Netflix, YouTube Tube etc etc. or any BBC or iplayer output. The licence money collected is used to fund the BBC primarily.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@BuntingKev @BROKENBRITAIN0 But you obviously have a device! Do you stream any live tv on any channel> If you do you are supposed to have a licence.

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@rideit08 @Wayne1571990726 @BROKENBRITAIN0 Any live TV inc on Sky etc (so live sport or news programmes)_ or any BBC TV or BBC iplayer. It’s quite limiting if you want to stay legal!

[Sarah Gower @SarahGower14]

@Fox_Claire Totally agree. I watched you on PL today and admired what you were saying. Also Angela Rayner once called Tory ‘scum’. They are total hypocrites and gaslight everyone with a sanctimonious attitude.
