owning a TV is fine. You can watch your videos and DVDs on it perfectly legally. So you will not go to jail or be fined for just owning. The Law states you must be actually watching a live TV broadcast to become guilty of a crime. Where it gets murky is what is a TV program, is it a blog, is it a YT live chat The Blackbelt Barrister has looked at these question on his site and well it comes down to is the live thing you watch regarded as a 'TV broadcast' or not? So the Joe Rogan Show might not be as it's called a live podcast, but TalkTV on YT might as they brand themselves as TV. So just listen to Talk Radio as radio is ok. Mahyar Tousi TV on YT is a problem as the silly sod called it TV even if its a podcast so you'd a tech nerd Judge to know and rule it isn't real TV wouldn't you?

[@EliteRock]

My PC, the 43" Samsung TV I use as a monitor and my Roku streamer could all notionally make me liable for a BBC licence. I don't use the PC for streaming, the Roku is pretty much only for occasional Amazon Prime movies/serials, and the TV has no aerial connected and is not internet-enabled. IOW I try to make sure that I am NOT liable for a licence. However, Amazon streams live content and so does KZbin which means content that WOULD render me liable is available at a button-press on the Roku (Amazon and various free, commercial channels that don't need registration) or a mouse-click. That said, I'm confident even a forensic analysis would produce no evidence that I am and it would be tempting to actually allow a Crapita goon in to do their worst *but as a matter of principle I'd prefer to give them some verbal abuse to the effect of 'go forth and multiply'.*

We used to have a similar situation here in Norway, with the exception that the license was required only if the household had a device able to receive TV signals over the air or via cable TV, not depending on which channel or programme you saw. When streaming services started being used at a large scale, there was a period where those who only used streaming services had problems getting acceptance for their right to not pay a license if they used their TV as a pure monitor after having the tuner part removed by a qualified TV repair shop. This changed, but the rest of us still paid our license directly to the public service broadcaster. The license no longer exists as payment directly to the former monopoly public broadcaster but as part of the normal income tax paid to the government. The government will, in turn, partly finance the public service broadcaster as a replacement for the lost license income.

haven,t had a tv license for 25 years, they,ve never found me and probably never will 🤣😂🤣.

[@MultiSueH]

Jon why is there not a block/password on the ‘live’ button of ITVX and other live streaming channels? There’s nothing to stop anyone without a licence watch this is there? The BBC demands money for watching any live commercial station, already funded by adverts, it’s not right in today’s world.

The quality of journalism is this country has really gone down the toilet.

[@PaulHeyes-k8z]

Works fine without it 😁

A while ago I mentioned on your channel, I was listening to a US radio station and an advert came on selling Fire Sticks to enable American viewers to watch British TV and in the adverst is also said the BBC. After I heard this I came on your channel and sarcasticly said something like: Better send some of the goons over and get knocking on doors to see if they had a licence, I know what they will be met with lol. Also a while ago I mentioned I was on a chat forum and said I don't have a TV licence and one lady said something like, "Well I got one coz they can tell what you are watching," I jumped on her telling her she was wrong vand why, she replied, "Well even if thats true I'll get one anyway to be on the safe side," So this is what articles like what you just read does, it scares ppl and they think, best just get one. Some ppl do as you say they don't read it all or don't research, they go off the headline.

Please ask - Do these local newspapers get paid to publish these 'stories'? I suspect they do. Vermin.

[@stevegee8010]

I'm the same as CJC in thinking they're not actually 'stories' at all, but marketing material from one of the marketing companies the BBC uses, disguised as a newspaper article to trick readers into believing it's an independent piece.

[@Galerak1]

their websites are chock full of advertising so they publish misleading headlines so peole click on the story to get bombarded by said adverts

[@smike9884]

Very rare to find an independent newspaper nowadays. They're all being bought by up a handful of big companies.

[@greggferns3278]

Lazy journalism

[@Malskivvy]

I've just got the official notice through the door, investigation opened. They say this property has never had one? I've lived here 22 years and at least 20 of those had a licence. Whatever 😂😂

[@Dekmoore]

Last time we bought a newspaper was when there was a bog roll shortage.

[@Theone-bc7tr]

I haven't bought or read a newspaper for over 25 years.

[@KiltedCritic]

Cheers for flagging the article, complaint now submitted to the IPSO for being misleading!

[@SimonJM]

People with Range Rovers face fines .... 😉

[@MartinE63]

Crapita wrote to me recently with a windowed envelope saying ‘will you be in on 26th September’ on opening the brown envelope they go on to say I should expect a visit on that day or another day. I’m somewhat disappointed as I will only be in until lunch on the 26th and might miss them. A place under the memorial patio will remain unfilled for now.

[@jonathancarroll185]

Standard bs from the BBC, I am so glad I cancelled my TV licence on Monday.

[@briansaiditsoitmustbetrue4206]

They will send you "Empty threat letters" ..Chuck them in the bin and do NOT let any TV licensing goons into your home.. Been "Licence free" for around 8 years now.

[@tornagawn]

It’s quite surreal looking at the UK having left……that the BBC, in the age of mass multimedia devices which allow streaming, have this bizarre ‘law’ that requires you to buy a licence if you watch ANY live stream, even if you never watch any of their sex offenders. Orwellian.

[@zebcamp7781]

People with EYES face £1000 fine if they use them to watch bbc iplayer or live TV.

[@Yorkmedia1]

I know you don’t get people into trouble I have fire stick I watch my programs on there who dose the BBC think they are deliberately misleading people like this thanks for sharing chilli great video has usual

[@kevinlampen2364]

I cancelled my license when covid happened.. I called them on the phone and told them they couldn't pay me enough to watch them ... and told them I'm sick and tired of being lectured by them .. they asked will I watch live I said nope ..again to be lectured by the likes of Gary and hew plus all their lies ... the license rep said sorry to hear ..I said I'm that confident I will never watch you again you are welcome to check .. they said that's okay .. sad to see me go ...I said can I have that in letter format..a few days later got that letter..and since then never heard anything more

[@robert-yv2yj]

Agree with you 100%. BBC has fallen farther than Lucifer, and appears to be in the same place.

[@bigjoeangel]

People with a monicle..., People with a bunion..., People with a sandwich toaster...

[@WhiteDieselShed]

Not forgetting people called bigjoe are fined for watching live TV without a licence. So glad I don't use the BBC or any online so called newspaper articles.

[@keithbuchanan9715]

Why are all governments against abolishing the TV licence when all other channels can survive is it because of the back handers

[@Dr.Gunsmith]

I keep getting terrible threatening letters to the legal Occupier whoever that is 😂

[@dd7521]

Me too.

[@eddyrourke5514]

Imagine my joy in finding out I do not have to pay the television license and then to find out i do not have to watch the BBC into the bargain👍👍

[@tarmacdemon]

Tell James Roger to take a long walk off a short plank

[@RebelFinch]

And he sounds like a total plank.

[@kevinmott6205]

Birmingham Mail biggest load of bollocks ever from banks to motoring to flying to holidays to households. YOU ARE GUNNA GET FINED . Whatever?😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@spiritusinfinitus]

Headline may as well have been "People with Radox shower gel face fines from TV Licencing if they watch live TV". And? 😂

[@Steve-nu4sv]

There's a recurring theme here "IF YOU WATCH LIVE TV" It's like driving home from the supermarket getting stopped and arrested because you have 6 bottles of unopened wine and 24 cans of beer among your shopping .😅

[@paulthomas5724]

Great work as always Jon 👍🏻 Quick Question… why does the swivel chair behind you have 3 arms? 😂
