How about this. If you offered a service that provided the BBC channels with
1/25th of a second delay, a BBC1+1/90000 then you could watch the channel
without a TV license because the channel would not be 'live', which is the
requirement for a TV Licence.
Yes, guesswork....

I'm sure that they will have.... it would be great to see a copy,
perhaps it was overlooked that BT is more than just a UK centric business
model. :-)
I must say that the peace here may be broken by the following phrase ...
"She stressed that the BBC would not be making any money from the new
arrangement."
Classic choice of words ..... BBC now giving content away, or was
"profit" the preferred noun?
Count me in for DVB-T via the net, and for Mac .... excellent news.

The way I read it was ...
They are offering it as part of another service, so
they're not charging for the BBC channels, you get those free, if you "buy"
this other service.
I might be wrong??
Still plenty of loop-holes here to setup a free "BBC+1"
if a user subscribes to your "members only website" :-)
Im just guessing here though lol

If BT can, why can't you or anyone else?

It turns out it isn't the iPlayer but the
"higher quality" DVB-T recording that BT offer as part of their package.
Although as they have no claim to copyright over them, it a bit hard to
understand how they can charge extra for them, for example I couldn't record
BBC one off-air, make a +1 of it and then transmit it via satellite and charge
a fee for it.
Could I?
Or could I?
2008/6/9 Darren Stephens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I would suspect so, as they would likely claim
that it is like any number of satellite channels bundled on sky, provided at
zero cost, but only available as part of a package which includes other
chargeable services.
Marketing drones, don't you just love them...

2008/6/5 Brian Butterworth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
According to
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/3580-catch-up-tv-on-bt-vision-no-longer-free.html
"BT Vision now has a TV Replay Pack that costs
£3 per month and covers the ... BBC iPlayer service."
Is it OK for BT to charge for access to the
free iPlayer?
