TV Licence if out of UK for 10 weeks

[CAB96]

so is the license and your BBC iplayer id linked?

No.

No link between them.

How do those without a licence know if they don't want to watch, listen or surf the content requiring a licence. There's some fantastic stuff they are missing out on

Depends on your/their definition of fantastic!

I have a friend who has lived in a house he bought about 25 years ago
He does not have a TV.
He has never had a TV.
(Nor did he have a computer, a smart phone or WiFi until his company paid to have it all installed and delivered during the pandemic)
To be frank, I think the only reason he has electricity is because it came with the house.

He gets yearly letters from the TV Licencing authority chasing the TV licence.
He makes a point of replying that he does not have a TV.
Over the years he must have had a dozen visits from the TV licencing authorities looking for the TV.

Sounds a little like a burglars charter tell the BBC your house is empty for 10 week's just asking for a friend

similar years ago to one of my banks stating that you had to tell them if "your cc was going to be used outside the uk & what dates" ???????? Really? They weren't too happy when I pointed out that all it took was one of there employee's to be forwarding empty house info.

It used to be travel agents who knew you was going away but couldn't garentee the property would be empty, but tell someone that the property would be empty for 10 weeks first the activate the alarm leave a week return do it again until the neighbours get fed up with it.
