    you can also use the same site on the iPod Touch via wifi.
    Not really a Grabbit though - but good to get the word out I suppose.

    If you watch live tv you need a TV licence

    If you watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV you must, by law, be covered by a TV Licence, no matter what device you're using.

    Just to clarify, if you have a tv in your house, and a tv licence, then its ok to watch live tv on your phone with your wifi in the house?

    Yes. As long as that address owns a TV licence. If the address does not own a licence then you are not allowed to access or view live analogue/digital terrestrial TV pictures by any means.

    I just signed up myself & its worked straight away on my Ipod Touch. Just watched some of both BBC1 & ITV to check against the terrestrial tv & there was a few seconds delay, but worked fine. Sorry it doesn't help you much, but it does confirm that it should work for you.
    Everything I wanna do is either illegal, immoral or fattening! lol :rotfl:

    What happens if you are watching TV on a train - does the train need to be licensed? :D

    Is your software - operating system completely up to date? The current version is 3.1.3
    You can check on your iPod touch by looking under settings / general / about.
    If you're not using the latest version, I would recommend updating via iTunes.
    Give that a shot, and see if it helps.
