If your parents have a TV License and you watch whatever you're watching on the BBC iPlayer from your devices' own batteries (so not plugged in to the mains) you'll be covered anyway? :smile:

I'm assuming you're going to moving into halls in September?

Supposedly, they are now making it so you must have a licence number to access the website now.

That's absolutely ridiculous but I guess it's one way to stop people saying they're legally covered by a license when in reality, they're not.

I wont be watching the BBC anymore when it comes into place, i'd rather pay for Now tv and stick to watching everything on channel 4.

You'd actually end up in credit if you decide to do that instead of paying for a TV license which is crazy...

I know, it really is. Especially with the BBC cutting bbc three, you dont get as much for your money anymore, i d be perfectly happy if they got adverts instead of making everyone pay so much.
