TV licence warning as watching Netflix show could land you a £1,000 fine

dailyrecord.co.uk:

UK television viewers are in for a shock as they could face hefty fines of up to £1,000 simply for streaming a popular new show on Netflix.

Brits might be unaware, but millions are at risk of this potential fine which they may not realise is applicable to them.While it's common knowledge that watching live TV or any content produced by the BBC necessitates a TV licence - currently costing £169.50 annually - what isn't as widely understood is that this requirement extends to live streams on platforms like Netflix.

Hence, fans of WWE Raw, the prominent wrestling show now available on Netflix, could inadvertently fall foul of the regulations.

Premiering on the streaming giant earlier this month, WWE Raw airs live every Tuesday at 1am UK time. Previously broadcasted on various networks such as USA Network and TNN/Spike TV, as MailOnline reports, its arrival on Netflix has sparked enthusiasm among fans.
