During one of our regular TV Licensing Twitter trawls we came across this gem of a conversation.
@tvlicensing Would I need a licence for uni if I'm just going to use my own iPad to watch TV using the sky go app?— Kayleigh A (@_KayleighWright) July 22, 2015Click on the permalink to view the full conversation.
Kayleigh is totally correct in her understanding of the legislation: As long as her home address (e.g. non-term-time address) is covered by a valid TV licence, then she is covered to watch elsewhere on portable equipment powered by its own internal battery and without an external aerial.
That's not, however, what TV Licensing's PR harlots told her when she asked them on Twitter.
We were happy to set the record straight!
