interesting turn of events on this one.
i don't have a tv licence at my new property - no requirement for one under the current terms of the licence.
i registered the fact on the TVL website that none was required and it was processed as normal. this was some 3-4 months ago.
yesterday i receive an email saying "our records show you've been using BBC iPlayer. but your address is registered as no licence required"
You need to be covered by a TV Licence to watch BBC programmes on iPlayer, or to watch or record live TV on any channel, no matter what device you use.
However, you’ve previously told us that you don’t need a TV Licence at 0/1, with postcode ending 9AD.
Our records show you've used BBC iPlayer on a number of occasions over recent weeks.
now, i'm curious as to why and how they think this is the case.
i do have a BBC "account", but the only identifiable information it has for me is email address and postcode (which is the postcode of my previous address).
i assume they have seen that account being logged on and used (still at the previous property, which is my parents house), and come to a conclusion that it must be getting used at the new property, which is incorrect.
of course, i simply binned the email that TVL received, and if they wish to pursue i'll happily let them provide the evidence of it being used in this non-licenced property. as they are keen to remind everyone, the licence belongs to the property not the person.
