Yup. If you have a device that can potentially be used to watch a TV channel then a licence is required.

You can always go on Disability Allowance and get the Household Benefits Package. Exempt from licence and coming soon - a way to make cash off the water charges (assuming you use little water).
A little drug dealing / landscape gardening on the side and you'll be winging it.
