Experts have issued guidance to help people weigh up whether they will renew their £159 TV licence this year as it is not needed for certain services.
You do not need a TV licence to stream on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+, nor do you need one to stream catch-up content across platforms, including ITV X and All 4. While streaming services will cost money, many households already have subscriptions and it may be worth weighing up whether they're more valuable than live TV.
However, it's important to note that those who don't renew a TV licence and use BBC iPlayer or watch live television could end up with fines of up to £1,000.
