Millions of Netflix viewers in the UK could be risking fines of up to £1,000 this weekend.

Every household in the UK is legally required to have a TV licence if they watch or record live TV, regardless of what channel it is on.

But if you do not use BBC iPlayer, watch or record live television then you do not need a TV Licence.

Typically, this has meant that those who solely watch television through Netflix or other streaming platforms do not need a TV Licence.

However, with Netflix now branching into showing live content, such as the upcoming Tudum Live event this weekend, that could now change.

As the event will be live streamed by Netflix, UK viewers wishing to watch will require a TV Licence to do so legally.

The BBC confirmed to Cord Busters last year that viewers will need to purchase a TV Licence if they are to watch live events on Netflix.........
