Quick Answer: Do You Need a TV Licence in Ireland to Stream Online?

In Ireland, the TV Licence costs €160 per year and is required for any home that possesses a TV set capable of receiving a broadcast signal via aerial, dish, or cable. However, watching streaming services solely on a computer monitor, laptop, tablet, or smartphone without a TV tuner does not legally require a TV licence under the current Broadcasting Act. For households looking to maximize their entertainment legally, StreamerATV provides full digital entertainment across all smart devices.
