Re: BBC Secrecy

BBC iPlayer offers two services... delayed broadcast which requires no licence and live broadcast, which requires tv licence just like television.

Also, you can have tv channels blocked through sky and other providers so you wouldn't need a tv licence.

If you have a normal tv then don't tune the TV into the BBC channels. You don't HAVE to. I have had tvs in the past that I've not tuned in, it's not difficult with a bit of self control with the remote control.

TV licencing for delayed programmes won't happen because it would interfere with other channels licencing... for example UK gold plays repeats of old classics which were made for the BBC. It would be confusing. So it won't happen.

And if it does happen, well I'll eat my socks.


I can live without television anyway. It doesn't bother me in the slightest.
