Having a TV in your room

I am thinking about bringing a TV with games console to my room when I move but on the York uni website it says I will need to buy a TV licence just by having a TV in the room. I am only planning on using it for my games console and not to watch TV so would I still need a licence or not? Also will there be enough room for a TV- I am in a twin room in Derwent.

Hi Jake,

I think the web page was written based on the assumption that students will be using the TV to watch live TV, but if you're definitely not going to do that you won't need one:

You'll have your own desk in your twin room, so you'll be able to put the TV on there - it just means losing a bit of desk space!

Hope that helps!
