Netflix users in the UK are requested to check their TV license status before setting up the latest live offer or the risk of a solid fine of up to £ 1000 (about £ 1 lakh), Mirror.co.uk reports. Direct shows now come with legal strings, while Netflix has traditionally enabled subscribers to stream shows and films without a TV license, the rules are different for direct content. What the rules say: “A TV license is needed to watch direct content on Streaming services, watch or record a TV show on any channel, and if he uses BBC iPlayer,” a spokeswoman said, according to Mirror.co.uk. The TV licensing website explains that viewers without a license direct TV on any platform, including BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky, Virgin Media, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and now, Netflix’s live shows, can legally watch or record. What it could cost you the current penalty for watching direct broadcasts without a license can amount to £ 1,000. Meanwhile, a standard -color -TV license currently costs £ 169.50 a year or £ 14.12 per month via direct debit. From April 1, 2025, the fee rose to £ 174.50, after an adjustment from the government. What you can still see what is non-living content remains licenses for Netflix viewers. But for anything directly, from comedy offers to major sporting events, residents of the UK must ensure that they are legally complying.
