Need a TV licence to watch BBC1 online

you can use a pc to watch pre recorded tv but not live thats when you pay for a tv licence

I don't have license free - Modern broadcasting is (in my opion) simply not work the £142.50p or so that they demand (and yet, they demand it - In threatening letters through my door, once a month). What I have in stead is something far more valuable - A life.

here's some stuff you may not know. Not only do you need a TV licence for a TV you also need one if you own any of the following:-

a) A Video recorder
b) A DVD recorder
c) A computer with broadband internet access
d) A MOBILE PHONE

the first 2 because you can record TV programs, the third and fourth I found when I looked on the TV licensing site to check what happens after 2012 when they turn of the analog signal, since I don't have satellite,cable or freeview and my TV, video, DVD and gamecube don't have built in decoders, I thought I wont need a licence (fat chance, I've got a computer with broadband and a mobile phone).

I can only assume it's because you can watch TV programs on-line (wherever you do or not is irreverent, you got a computer with broadband you need a licence)

As for the fourth one it may have something to do with the modern mobiles having TVs in them or something, all I know is I would love to watch some official try and watch a TV program on my mobile (Motorola c350, as used by Noah on the arc)

TV Licensing tend to talk a load of sloblock most of the time. They have difficulty accepting the idea that some people don't have a TV. Unsurprisingly, they also have problems with the ideas of "innocent until proven guilty" and "beyond reasonable doubt".

Are you the real Tessa jowell? Have you had to pay any money back. Does Gordon Brown have a shrine to stalin hidden in number 10

A legal loophole highlighted by the communications regulator Ofcom means that viewers can watch television and listen to radio over the internet and mobile devices free.

> You don't need a TV tuner card for this and you can easily clear your browsing history.

When you receive content from BBC their server knows which IP address it sends data to. With the co-operation of your ISP it is easier to find you than having to come to your address and check if you have a PC.

If you can get away with it fair play to you, most of this cash is only going on over-paid presenters, if they never had had one in the first place and they tried to bring one in now they would stand no chance at all. (I have always had one)

I will not be paying for a licence to watch TV online. It is just not going to happen. They have a better chance of knitting fog than they have squeezing money from me for their scabby licence.

In fact, they can come around to my house, drag me into the street and shoot me before they retrieve monies from me.

A Tv licence iis unlawlful when the bbc is being funded by europe when it is supposed to be unbiast...See tpuc.org for the truth...

My gripe is that the cost of a television is too much. I dont' know of any other country in the world that charges people to watch their television. Our television licence fee is £140 approximately a year. They must be rolling in money as the majority of households watch TV in the UK. Not content with robbing us with taxes that pay for MPs lavish lifestyles we get hammered for taxes in numerous other ways: income tax; council tax; car tax; inheritance tax etc etc. No wonder the average British person is poor. We spend our lives paying money to our government and they are not using it wisely by all accounts.
