Not at all - large numbers of people outside of the UK watch BBC using a vpn client which misinforms the BBC server about location. In the same way uk residents are able to watch French TV. And so on. |

In the EU maybe but if you want to watch, download etc anything to do with the BBC you need a license, they aren’t stupid and know what you are watching. |

I wonder what impact it would have on the BBC if we could buy a tv that didn’t have BBC or we could choose not to have it. |

It is definitely a scan. The proper website does not have the hyphen between tv and licencing. I put the scam website address into the browser and it comes up as "not secure". |
