Do I need a TV Licence for all on demand programmes? You don’t need to be covered by a licence to watch any films or TV shows that you buy online. On demand also includes exclusive programmes that are only available online. These programmes can be accessed on a website or through an app on a smart TV, digital box or any other device.
