A third for Roku because it is not limited

Cool, I’ll look on eBay, would a now tv Roku 2 tv box work? Or would I need a stick? Btw I haven’t got any freeview channels installed, and don’t plan too. If I only watch amazon prime will I be able to remain without a tv license, or will getting this stick now mean I have to buy a tv liscense?

Sorry for the ignorant question

Get the Roku branded products new from Argos/Currys so you know it works. And you get a guarantee from a store.
The Roku Express Streaming Stick is only £29.99 while Argos also have the 4K version for £49.99 currently.

As for a TV license you only need one if

The first part of the quote from https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/watching-online-and-on-mobile-devices-TOP14# establishes what are devices for receiving TV (@Neil Jones: it doesn't include telepathy, so I think you must still be allowed to use that!).

The second part says that you have to have a licence if you:
Watch programmes live.
Record live programmes to watch later.
Use BBC iPlayer (either for live or catch-up).
It states:
"You don’t need a licence if you only ever watch on demand or catch up programmes on services other than BBC iPlayer"
"You will need a TV Licence if you watch live TV on a subscription channel. But you don’t need a TV Licence to watch on demand programmes (other than those on BBC iPlayer) on paid-for subscription channels.".
So, I think it's pretty clear that you do not need a TV licence if really only watch catch-up or on demand on Sky/Netflix/Now/etc.


However, if you even once do watch anything live - the News, a must-see sporting event, flicking channels, whatever, then you must have a licence.

Thank you , yup I barely watch tele and Netflix or prime will be my only sources when I do. So I’ll be sure to just make sure I don’t watch anything live. Thank you for your information , I’ll look at Argos now

I can find an App Store and it’s got just about every one available, but not amazon prime. I wonder if I contact the manufacturer they might know if it will be upgraded to allow future compatibility? In the meantime I’ll get a fire stick.

Why drag up a thread over a year old to say that ?

Ok so I'm sorry.
