When I was reading round this subject I found this - --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- You do not need a UK TV licence to use "get-iplayer". You only need a TV licence if you are recording TV programmes as they are being shown on TV. This is from the TV licensing website -
"The law states that you need to be covered by a TV Licence if you watch or record television programmes, on any device, as they're being shown on TV. This includes TVs, computers, mobile phones, games consoles, digital boxes and Blu-ray/DVD/VHS recorders. You don't need a licence if you don't use any of these devices to watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV - for example, if you use your TV only to watch DVDs or play video games, or you only watch 'catch up' services like BBC iPlayer or 4oD."
