In what context are you talking about? Are you talking about watching live broadcast TV channels on YouTube or are you talking about any content online?
Live broadcast TV channels online.
Basically anything that is also broadcast.
It isn't how you happen to watch, it's all the ways it's how it's being disseminated at the time.
To keep it simple, this from TV Licensing:
Live broadcast TV channels. You or I can broadcast live and it would not count. As long as you stay away from the live material on any of the broadcast TV catch-up apps then you are okay.
Yes. You or I talking into our webcam on YouTube and not going out in any other way doesn't need a licence.
But (say) Scotland away against Ceylon: only available online here but broadcast live in Ceylon does need a licence.
(Hey! I don't make the rules, I just try to stay inside them)
