In some cases your main home’s TV Licence may cover your second home. However, you can’t move your licence to cover your second home while you’re there and then move it back again.
You will need a separate TV Licence to watch or record programmes as they’re being shown on TV on any channel or TV service, or to watch or download BBC programmes on BBC iPlayer in your second home.
The exception is if you only ever use devices powered solely by their own internal batteries – in which case your main home’s TV Licence will cover you.
