yep ....dont turn your TV on...
Guff.OP, you can watch anything as long as it's not whilst it's being broadcast. You cannot watch or record a live signal, that's it.
Anything else is fine including streaming services such as Netflix, iPlayer, 4oD etc. There are lots of devices you can use to connect to your WiFi and stream from the net.
I went licence-free around 3-4 years ago and haven't missed it at all. Capita send threatening-sounding letters once a month but I ignore them (there is no legal requirement for me to have to engage with them so I don't).

watching TV in somewhere like America is painful.
Yup. As much as the BBC is sometimes a pain in the arse, its 10000x better than CNN, Fox, or almost any other ad-paid channel. Watching US or Ozzie TV can be cringworthy; almost every 'item' is a promotion or product placement even within the shows themselves, before you even get to the 6 or 8 breaks an hour, rather than 2 on the BBC or 4 on ITV etc. We are very lucky with the standard of the TV we get here. Dont take it for granted.

hi guys, once again, could anyone suggest a good 'box' with which to do this?
I've had a Roku box for the past 5 years. Netflix, iPlayer, 4OD, ITV Player, 5, plus a load of other stuff and you can link to your computer using PLEX. We canned the licence as we just didn't watch normal TV anymore.
