WHERE AND WHEN YOU NEED A LICENCE

Do students need a TV Licence? You need to be covered by a TV Licence if you
live in:


Student halls – you’ll need to be covered by a licence to watch TV in your room.

House or flat share with separate tenancy agreement – you’ll need to be covered
by your own licence.

Property with joint tenancy – you’ll need one licence to cover the whole place.


HERE’S ALL THE GREAT TV IT COVERS YOU TO WATCH

With a licence you can stay connected to your favourite shows – and feel more
connected to your family and friends watching too. You can enjoy:

400+ TV channels as they’re being broadcast

 * All the free-to-view channels like ITV, Channel 4, Dave and Sky One.
 * Live TV that you watch on any satellite packages or streaming services you
   might pay for, like Virgin Media, Amazon Prime Video and Now TV.
 * Plus, everything on BBC iPlayer.

And you can watch it all on any device.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

What happens if you watch live TV or BBC iPlayer without a licence?

Anyone caught watching or recording TV live on any channel or service, or BBC
iPlayer – without a licence – could be fined (up to £1,000* plus costs). There’s
also a risk of receiving a criminal conviction.

What if I move?

Your licence won’t automatically move with you. Once you know where you’re
moving to, and when, update your details to stay covered.
