A mate of mine has moved into a shared house, he's got his own widescreen TV but the landlord says that it's too big for his licence to cover, does he need his own licence?

each individual person in a house share who has a tv needs a liscense dont they? Eg if four students share and each have a tv, four liscenses are reequired

That's hilarious.

Sorry, but the tv licence isn't concerned with the size of the tv.

If your friend has his own front door within the house - a seperate dwelling, he needs his own licence.

Otherwise, one licence covers all.

A TV licence doesn't take into account the size of the TV. As long as the property is covered by a TV licence than he could have 10 TV's in each room at no extra cost.

If you've signed a joint tenancy agreement with your housemates, you'll only need one TV Licence to cover all the TV receivers in your house. So it's a good idea to share the cost.

If you don't have a licence between you, whoever is found watching TV when an Enforcement Officer comes to visit is the one who risks prosecution and a fine of up to �1,000. It could be you, whether you own the TV or not.

If you've signed a separate tenancy agreement and you're taking a TV receiver to use in your room, you'll need a TV Licence of your own.
