BBC:
Video streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime now have more subscribers than traditional pay TV services in the UK, new data from Ofcom has revealed.
The media regulator says British TV will have to change the way it operates if it wants to compete with the internet giants.
Sharon White, Ofcom's chief executive, says: "We'd love to see broadcasters such as the BBC work collaboratively with ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 so that they have got that scale to compete globally, making shows together, co-producing great shows that all of us can watch.
"I think it would be great to see a British Netflix."

Ok, let me dig out my paper copy of the TV license....
From the About your TV License box
So, as long as it's only foreign catch-up TV then you're correct, otherwise they still want their pound of flesh.
NB, the TV license isn't about traditional (RF) receivers anymore 'desktop computers, laptops, mobile phones, tablets!..oh my!'
