It is soley used for playing dvds and games consoles do you require a Tv License?
This is the only TV in the household. No sky NTL etc subscription either.



If you have any equipment capable of recieving TV then you need a license.

TV Licensing says:
http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/information/index.jsp

You need a TV Licence to use any television receiving equipment such as a TV set, set-top boxes, video or DVD recorders, computers or mobile phones to watch or record TV programmes as they are being shown on TV.

If you use a set-top box with a hi-fi system or another device that can only be used to produce sounds and can't display TV programmes, and you don't install or use any other TV receiving equipment, you don't need a TV Licence.
