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

contact the TV licensing people and explain that you either a) don't have a TV or b) have a TV but don't watch live TV (e.g. only watch DVD's or Videos and it isn't connected to a TV aerial) Then they accept it and leave you alone. They don't seem so accepting of the We've got a licence
