Hello folks I know this was discussed last year, but a non-TV-owning client has just asked me whether he needs a BBC licence to use iPlayer, and I was surprised to find this page at http://www.bbc.co.uk/info/channels/television/iplayer.shtml which implies that he does. It says "The TV programmes are free for UK licence fee payers, at high quality and with no advertising."
On the other hand, the iplayer terms and conditions at http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/about_iplayer/termscon make no mention of the BBC licence fee. It's all rather confusing really. Maybe the government should admit the the licence fee is really a tax that they expect everyone to pay, and give up the charade about the BBC being independent. cheers Chris -- Chris Dennis cgden...@btinternet.com Fordingbridge, Hampshire, UK -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
