Here’s where it gets fun. Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video are usually safe. You don’t need a TV Licence to watch those—unless you’re also streaming live content on them. “The Great British Bake Off” on Netflix? No licence needed.
But wait! BBC iPlayer is the sneaky exception. Even watching a recorded show on iPlayer requires a licence. Yes, you read that right. It’s the one streaming service that demands cash, even for catch-up.
Why? Because the BBC is that special. It’s like the clingy friend who insists you pay for their coffee even when you’re not drinking it. Weird, but true.
