Netflix users could face a 1,000 fine for using new feature
Briefly

Netflix is expanding its content offerings to include live events, such as fights and reimagined shows, which brings implications for viewers regarding TV licensing. To watch live shows on platforms like Netflix, you must have a TV Licence, costing £174.50 yearly. Failure to comply could lead to substantial fines, up to £1,000, for illegal viewing. Unlike on-demand viewing, live programming holds licensing requirements, necessitating coverage regardless of the platform used. Legal actions could be initiated for non-compliance, reinforcing the need for awareness around these regulations.
Not paying for a TV Licence could lead to a £1,000 fine if we find that you have been watching, recording or downloading programmes illegally.
You need to be covered by a TV Licence to watch live on streaming services - such as ITVX, Channel 4, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now, Sky Go, Netflix and Freely.
