If you are living in United Kingdom, especially the student hostel, you would be getting this plenty of times. Throughout my stay here for the past 6 to 7 months, I have received at least three to four notice letters regarding TV license.
You have to pay to watch television channels in UK. No matter if you are watching it through the normal TV, computer or any electronic devices.
Bad news is, since there is no Astro in UK, football-lovers are not allowed to watch their matches live through the Internet. No mamak here as well, unless you go to the pub. While the good news is for the TVB drama-addicts, go ahead and watch as much as you want. UK government would not bother about it.

Even if you watch live BBC news, you still need to have a TV license. Basically everything which is live, you are not allowed to watch it without a license.
What is the penalty if I watch it without TV license?
"If you are found guilty, you may face a fine of up to £1,000. You may also be liable for legal costs." In other words, you decide on your own fate. Buy it or leave it.
By the way, if you ever send me a snail mail, please kindly do inform me first. I have not been collecting letters for the past 3 months. It is nuisance going to the student post office and check if there is any letter every time.
Advice: Just be "smart" when you want to "do it". You know what I mean. Cheers!
