## Resource

Think your TV Licence only covers live TV? Think again. You’re fine watching DVDs or gaming on your TV — no licence needed. But stream live shows via BBC iPlayer, YouTube, or paid services? That’s a different story. You’ll need a licence — and it applies to every device. Skip it at your own risk: fines up to £1,000 plus court costs. Double-check your habits before you get caught.
