If you've got a battery operated portable tv you're covered by your parent's license.

I thought my parents' TV Licence would cover me.

-
Your parents' TV Licence won't cover your use of any TV receiver in student accommodation, except in the following rare and limited circumstances:

* You only use TV receiving equipment that is powered by its internal batteries; and
* You have not installed it (e.g. connected it to an aerial or plugged it into the mains) to receive TV;
* Your permanent address (non term-time) is your parents' home; and
* Your parents have a valid TV Licence for their home.


If you do not satisfy all of these requirements, you will need to buy your own TV Licence for your student accommodation.

To check whether this exception applies to you, please call us on 0844 800 6721.

There's a topic on money saving expert.com that seems to suggest that laptops come under that criteria, however I can't vouch for that:

I don't think anyone I knew who had a tv had a license for it.....

I took my TV last year and many an hour was spent with a room full of people (although only 5 *cough cough* because more is considered a party and not allowed).
If you take a tv you need to get an aerial though because the signal there is completely useless.
Even with an aerial it's not brilliant (my neighbour being on the phone would cause me to lose signal).
