I think you need to explain your logic for your post first.

Cancelled my licence a while back as I don't require it for what I use/watch. Took a while but started getting the threat letters again that, as everyone knows, escalates to some quite disturbing wording. Went back onto the website and re-registered that I didn't need the licence and they stopped sending me spam.
The answer is no but you still didn't answer the question I asked.

It means live broadcast content i.e. if a channel decides to make their content available on YouTube in real-time.
There's a lot of confusion in this thread about what live means in terms of the TV license - it doesn't mean literally "happening now", it means live broadcast content. If it's someone live-streaming their own show for instance that's not included as it isn't available in the broadcast TV signal anyway.
that didn't help :-/
They are nothing more than door to door salesmen, treat them as you would a gyspy selling lucky heather.
Answer the door and then promptly close it without engaging.

Key word is broadcast I guess - TV license only covers what you would watch on a TV channel on your TV!
It must be a broadcast television programme.
The Depp trial was just an internet feed and shouldn't have required a TV licence.

no it isn't. you may not think it is worth it and therefore choose not to use it in which case that is your call
if however you use the service then you are no more stupid than paying for sky, Netflix or what ever .
if you use it but don't pay your wack then that does not make you intelligent.... any more than any other form of piracy. Not judging if you do... but I don't think people who have hookie sky setups are intelligent and legitimate users stupid.
Well there is one situation where the answer is yes. If your friend doesnt have a license and you are using a mobile phone or tablet to watch live football its ok to use your own TV license at his house just as long as you don't do something really wild like plug your phone/tablet in to charge at his house. Then your breaking the law.Well if you look at the post I replied to originally then you would know why I posted my reply

Yeh but it expires on the 06/07/2022 so needs a new decleration. Just fill it in, takes no more than 60 seconds of your life.
Takes a lot longer than posting on here about it.
EDIT: If you don't fill it in it will be unlicenced and you will get a letter than someone will be calling around at some point.
