How to pay the licence fee online?

wasty

I stopped watching TV and informed TV Licensing a year ago, I now want to watch the Olympics Athletics competition, so I went online to pay for a licence but seem unable to do so, as I keep going round in circles:-

https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/pay-for-your-tv-licence/index.app
                                Clicked “New Licence”
                                                                  Clicked “Debit or CC”
                                                                                                       Clicked “Pay for your TV licence”
                                                                                                                                                       BACK to tvlicensing.co.uk/cs/etc

Does anyone have any advice, other than paying at the Post Office?

BTW as I informed TV Licensing that I was not watching TV, I did not receive any threatening letters.

Very limited coverage on terrestrial telly.

Do you need a licence to watch Olympics on Discovery+ https://www.discoveryplus.co.uk/olympics/home ? Not sure what the rules are for watching live events over streaming services.

Agreed. Very limited coverage on terrestrial and certainly not worth purchasing a licence for a couple of weeks.

Discovery+ is highly recommend, I'm doing the £7 a month - cancelled so not doesn't renew.

They have every sport covered.

BBC this year is really bad for coverage, they are limited and can only stream 2 events live (they lost the bid), no red button to choose what you want only what they decide.

You may a need tv licence though

The law says you need to be covered by a TV Licence to:

• watch or record programmes as they’re being shown on TV, on any channel
• watch or stream programmes live on an online TV service (such as ITV Hub, All 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV, Sky Go, etc.)

@Marvel1 Agree about the Discovery+ Olympic coverage, very impressed that they are covering every sport/event. 

Some people may be able to take advantage of a current Vodafone VeryMe promotion that offers 6 months of subscription for free.
