I stopped paying for a TV license in the UK about 5 years ago
This means I cannot watch any live TV channels or use the BBC iPlayer streaming service.
However I can use all of the other UK TV channels free catch up services.
There was one show - Taskmaster - that I was watching regularly and mostly on catchup so I stopped watching live, cancelled my license and never looked back.
I have a decent sized DVD/Blu Ray collection and use mostly UK non-sub stream services.
