If you buy or rent a television you will need a licence. It is illegal to use a TV without having a licence and you may be fined. Prices in May 2007 were:
- Annual licence for black and white TV £45.50
- Annual licence for colour TV £135.50
The quickest way to pay is online at www.tvlicencing.co.uk. For more information for students click here.
If you rent equipment such as a TV, you may need separate insurance cover.
