Turn off live tv on Hisense smart tv

Hi guys, quick question. 
Received my new smart tv (Hisense) and can’t seem to figure out how to turn off/disable live tv. 
We only stream things like Netflix, YouTube, Disney etc. we don’t watch anything live, no live tv, or bbc Iplayer and don’t plan to. 
Therefore we don’t have a tv licence.

Does anyone know how to get rid of the live tv as I don’t need tv licence knocking and have any issues lol. 
help would be appreciated, thanks so much!!

Can’t speak to HiSense, but on normal TVs sold in the UK, I suspect there’s no way to “remove” the live TV capability.

I’d ensure there’s no aerial/no aerial lead connected, have the TV source set only on apps (not iPlayer - and you should be able to uninstal their app), tell TV Licensing you don’t watch live TV (on any equipment, from any source) and if they come knocking, tell em to sling their hook.
