Netflix is now adding more live content to its streaming catalog.
You might be excited to watch your favorite shows in real time, but wait!
Because this can be a "trap" and can even result in a hefty fine.
The problem lies in the fact that consumers may still need a TV license to watch live shows even if they appear on a streaming service like Netflix.
With a newly increased price of £174.50, paying for a TV licence isn't cheap.
However, it is still much less than the fine you could face for not having one.
“Failure to pay for a TV licence could lead to a fine of £1,000 if we find that you have watched, recorded or downloaded programmes illegally,” TV Licensing explains on its website.
The maximum fine is £2,000 in Guernsey. Plus any legal costs and/or compensation you may be ordered to pay.'
Typically, you don't need a TV license to watch streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Disney+.
However, you still need a license to watch live programs, regardless of whether you are using a streaming service or not.
