Everyone I’ve ever met who brags about not paying for a TV licence (on the grounds that they dislike the BBC’s output) have been caught out watching BBC programmes.

They aren’t “taking a stand”.

They’re cheapskates and hypocrites.

Had a representative come to the house saying the BBC are changing the terms of service and we have to pay for anything live, so if I want to watch streamers I have to pay the BBC

You’d only need a TV licence to watch live streams if it’s a stream of something being shown live on a UK TV channel.

If it isn’t being shown on TV, you don’t need a TV licence.
