I believe that you do need a TV licence if you use the BBC's live streaming services (eg of the BBC News Channel), or if you download TV programmes from the BBC iPlayer. That's why these services are restricted to people in the UK, whereas radio programmes (for which no licence is needed) are available world-wide.
