TV License Sent Me an Email to Confirm I Don't Need One
Other
Canceled mine four years ago and I received this spammy email from TVL today (March 27, 2023). 
If I watched Live TV/Streams or BBC iPlayer I'd pay for it, but I don't so I'm not going to. They're lucky I didn't report this email as spam because that's what it feels like.
No means no, BBC.
I thought you only needed a tv licence to watch BBC. I only watch 1 programme on it myself but do watch Amazon prime
Imnotcheap You need it if:
- You watch Live TV
- You watch Live Streams
- You watch BBC iPlayer
I don't do nor care about any of those three. Much as I loathe TVL, it's better kept as it is or they may try to add it to a tax/bill which leaves people no choice to opt out.
Imnotcheap If you watch or record anything that is live like This Morning or a boxing match on Sky then you need a TV license its not just for BBC
Imnotcheap Yes if its live - all the details are on that email - I think people are very surprised when you do need it for just don't get caught out!

I do have a TV license but i believed you only needed one if you watch BBC. I didn’t realise it for any live viewing.
