As far as i understand it the BBC, and the licensing authorities make
the assumption that , where one owns a computer which is connected to
the internet( same with mobile phones) a TV license is required on the
basis that the device is capable of receiving BBC broadcast media(
including the picture element), however if you are using a device that
does not have a visual display as part of its apparatus
, and therefore is only capable or outputting the audio element. you
should in that case be exempt.
yes i know that is a bit long winded and complicated but it boils down
to the BBC making the (wrongful in my view) assumption that every UK
household has a TV receiving device.
