TV Licensing + iPlayer
It's been in the press that the "iPlayer loophole" is closing - i.e. a TV Licence will soon be required to legally watch iPlayer catchup content online. The TV Licensing website says "From 1 September 2016 you'll need a TV Licence to watch or download BBC programmes on demand, including catch up TV, on BBC iPlayer."…

Mobile TV receiver for iPads
Not sure whether I should ask here or on the technical board. I'm looking for a portable Freeview TV receiver that operates without using data or wifi on an iPad so you can watch TV whilst out camping. I'm thinking something similar to this Humax one would be good but this review is a few years old now so I'm not sure…

HDCP now Tv / youview
hi, could anyone explain please? I've got a monitor with HDMI input which works fine with a youview box, but if I try to use with a now Tv box the menu etc works ok but when I select something to watch a HDCP warning appears and the screen is blocked (audio ok) I understand it's some kind of copyright protocol but why is…

Foreign Satellites To Receive Premier League Football
A few years ago it became quite popular for pubs to install a large satellite dish capable of picking up the foreign satellites which broadcast Premier League matches, either free-to-view or for a small subscription fee. I'm aware that the availability of matches will change depending on what deal a foreign broadcaster…

Now TV & kids pass changes & unfair contacts
Hi. Looking for some expert opinion on the changes driven into the entertainment package of now TV recently, which takes the kids channels currently included in the package and splits them out into a new package, effectively meaning that we now have to pay again for the same channels. If, like me, you are on a 6 month pass…

Sky Question - Can sky change package if you select a channel you don't subscribe to?
Hi, I have just cut our sky subscription back to the basic bundle and, as expected, various channels have been removed. However, in the past, when we selected a channel outside of our package, there was a message on the screen telling us to ring sky if we wanted to upgrade. Since downgrading, this message has changed. The…

Licence refund (students)
Last year when I claimed a three-month refund the goons at TV Licensing ran me ragged. Because I didn't cancel the licence there was no obvious facility to just claim a refund via the website. The whole process is opaque, and designed to confuse. This time I've set up a 12 month single payment DD. So what's the process:…

Now TV money saver
I'm a big fan of Now TV as an alternative to having a full sky set up, but I don't work for Sky or get any commissions. My point is, I recently had to purchase a Now TV box for the Euro 2016 matches - only so I can watch the last 2 group games which are on at the same time. My box is connected to a projector for one match…

freeview or freesat
I'm thinking of ditching my sky deal, which I have had for a few years and going with freeview as I no longer watch the channels sky offers. But will miss my sky+ box - it makes recording so very easy. My TV has freeview on it already but wondered if I could get a freesat+ box and use my old sky dish (can you do this?), or…

Recording a TV program
I have just bought a new TV, a LG 43UF680V Smart 4k tv, and wanted to record some programs. It is only connected to the aerial, and receives Freeview only. Online I have seen you need a UDS-HDD, which I assume is a normal external USB drive. Is that correct? Also, will I be able to watch my downloaded movies from an…

TV license letters
Hi all, My brother has just purchased a TV to use his laptop on through a HDMI cable. He doesn't think that he needs a TV license, and - after checking on this very site - it seems that he is correct. However, upon buying the TV he received a letter from the local area, asking him to confirm whether or not he has a TV /…
