"So in reality the only ways to watch without a licence are PC and console for non live content."
Or on your phone (like I sometimes do)0 -
If you re-read my post you would see I was entirely "straight" What I said was just a statement of fact. It was you who for some reason seemed to be able to understand that.
Not sure you still do to be honest.
It is a statement of fact it is illegal to watch TV programs without a TV licence also.
It's an easy game to play not being specific is it not.
But your quote.Oh my word - wrong again.
It is perfectly possible to legally watch TV programes without the need for a licence.
"forced to buy a TV licence" - how absurd
To watch Live TV, Sky, Freesat, Virgin, Freeview record TV you are forced to by a TV licence, not that absured really.
It is entirely dependent on the content you want to watch. I even stated you need a licence to watch some downloaded content 3 pages ago.
But to me does not mean you can watch TV programs without a licence, it means you can watch some programs without a licence.0 -
Ooh, here we go, we're off again.It is a statement of fact it is illegal to watch TV programs without a TV licence also.
It's an easy game to play not being specific is it not. The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark0 -

Very good, the only problem with your "fact" is that it is not one.;)
Whereas this, my original post
"It is perfectly possible to legally watch TV programmes without the need for a licence. " is a fact.
Once you can figure out what is a fact and what is just your opinion then you might start getting somewhere.0 -

All TV programs?0 -
Ooh, here we go, we're off again.
So If I plug my telly in tune it, and watch it is that not illegal? I never stated how:). So you will find it is true or false depending of the context of how it is done.
As vague as some others point's I will think you will find.
It is all down to how you do it, you can't watch all TV without a licence, that is a fact.0 -
;I never suggested anywhere that you could watch "All TV Programs"
Why do you ask?
I never suggested it was illegal to watch online.
Infact before you went on about all this I clearly stated.No it's not you need a licence to receive any TV signal. Even if you don't have one connected to an arial. If it is tuned in to a channel and receives a fuzzy signal you need a licence.
The only way you can't is if it is DVD's or recorded content. But if someone records for you and you don't have a licence they can be done for copyright and you would have to prove you did not record it. (so basically get someone done for copyright)
You also need a Licence to watch some online content.
Shame you missed that.;)
Like I said it is illegal to watch TV programs without a licence it is true, it is as clear as your point. I can give you examples if you want.
I can be just as difficult as you, you know people have been done for watching TV programs without a licence so it must be true.
I know people can watch online without a licence.
It's a pain when people are obstructive and petty isn't it.
But glad we are all clear now.0
