    Just because someone knows something you appear not to does not make anyone a fool.

    But stating something as fact than being obstructive with your answer does.

    If you can't answer the question, I will take it as you don't know or it is not legal.
    I have submitted data about the legal aspects of the TV licence, considering you are so cocksure you seem unable to have any reasonable debate based on fact?

    Not hard at all in fact there is a big clue in the stuff you quoted but you seem to have missed it.

    Here is a clue - third line down.

    If you still can't see it let me know and I'll tell you then:D

    What watching recorded programs???

    That breaches copyright? That illegal, or do you mean something else?

    So not to clever with the search facilities then I see.:cool:

    You have indeed submitted a quote which for some reason you are unable to understand in the context of my earlier post that there is a perfectly legal way to watch TV programmes without a licence.

    Want another clue?

    Now this is a big one, see if you can work it out now......iplayer

    depending on the nature of the content being viewed on the BBC iPlayer, a TV Licence may be required.

    Oh so only if they are not live, and basically on on a computer or console as the only other ways of getting Iplayer on a TV is on freesat, a licensed service.

    So you can watch downloaded content, not live TV programs.;)

    Congratulations for finally getting to the point.

    Must admit, would not have helped much for the world cup etc though.

    If you do note mr/mrs pedantic it was written before you wrote about the iplayer.

    If I say 3rd line down to you does it mean anything on a whole thread?

    From the BBC website:

    If we saw, over time, that some people stopped receiving live broadcasts at all, stopped paying their licence fee, but continued to consume televison programmes, solely on-demand through the iPlayer (or other players), then we might have to consider talking to the Government about Part 4 of the Communications Act 2003 and the Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004, so that they can then consider whether on-demand tv viewing might be brought within its aegis.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2008/01/iplayer_does_not_require_a_tv_1.html

    So if the number of people using iPlayer and not paying for a TV licence is seen to rise, then they will look to bring it under the licence.

    Well not really, as you can watch some programs online after they have been aired.

    I would not constitute that has TV programs as your choice is limited.

    Can I watch a Premier League game for example?

    So you were not entirely straight on your claim you said you can watch TV programs without a licence, you can basically watch some programs on line after they are aired.

    I even said on the last page you need a licence for "some" online content.
    What a waste of time, it could of been cleared up in two posts.
