Did you know that you need a TV licence if you watch live TV on your mobile phone or laptop? This is something that I didn’t know and was surprised when I read in the newspaper that you face a £1000 fine if you are caught watching mobile TV without a licence.

Londoners watching TV on their mobile phones or laptops without a licence now face increased scrutiny from the licensing authority.

The TV licensing authority says, “There is a clear number of people watching TV channels via other means, and we need to make them aware of the rules. Many TV channels are now available to watch over the Internet. The rules are straightforward: If you are watching programmes on a computer or laptop as they are broadcast, then you need a TV licence.”

But, I guess I don’t need to worry much since I don’t watch mobile TV. But if you do, then you need a licence.
