When I move to London in January I shall have a computer and internet but no TV.

Do I need a TV license?

In the past I would have said surely not.

But these days I understand that certain TV programmes are made available online at the same time that they are broadcast, and the TV licensing site says that if you use your computer to watch them then you need a TV license.

I would not be watching them, but presumably my computer would be capable of receiving them.

So do I need a TV license? Alternatively, could not having a TV license cause problems?

Many thanks in advance!
