A reader who does not own a television was accused of breaking her ‘no licence needed’ declaration

I am 72 years old and do not watch TV. I listen to LBC radio all day and read books and magazines. I still have access to my late husband’s iPlayer account and, after logging in at my neighbour’s house, I have received a legal warning.

I have moved house since he died and contacted TV Licensing to declare that no licence was required because I don’t own a TV. Over Christmas, I was babysitting, and I logged into iPlayer (the people I was babysitting for have a licence, so I was covered).
