Do you need a TV Licence

Finally moved into the new place last week.

I need to get a TV and was wondering in Spain do you need a TV licence?

Thanks in advance

you do not need a licence for the TV in Spain. TV in spain is funded by extremely long ad breaks...they make a 2 hour film about 20 hours long!!

you do not need a UK TV licence to watch UK tv in spain via satellite (yet!)

Only great thing I find about watching Live Sport like F1, major football Tourno's or games is that they do show adverts at the same time as the spor in a split screen, shame its not like that here, even online you watch it and it goes to a break.
