Afraid not - same as if you had bought car tax at the same time. They don't do "bits of months"

Well I wish I had known and I would have waited a few more days lol, not happy that Ive lost out on pretty much a month but still pay for the full year.

I always thought that if you had a tv that was capable of receiving broadcasts then you had to have a tv licence, regardless of whether you actually used the tv for this purpose.

I do think though you are trying to have your cake and eat it; after all what is the difference of you watching say Holby City as it is being broadcast and watching Holby City on the I Player? I think by saying that you are watching the programme on the i player is splitting hairs - you are still effectively watching a programme broadcast by the BBC.

However I think the arguement for getting rid of the licence fee is made far stronger by the BBC putting programmes on the i-player (with everyone around the world effectively having access to these programmes and not just those who are forced to pay the licence fee) than the row about Jonathan Ross, which in my opinion was blown out of all proportion who saw it as an opportunity to bash the BBC.

Can I just say that people all over the world cannot watch iplayer or 4D etc etc ..it knows we are not in the UK and kicks us out ...... :-(

Personally I would much rather have the option to SCRAP any |BBC programmes and rely on commercially funded channels, than pay a fortune to watch the dribble churned out by them, Its the equivalent of paying for Sky Movies, simply because its available if we want it.
