Freeview
This relates to the licence fee I guess. They're planning on shutting down analogue transmission in late 2009 so I have researched my postcode and house number on: Freeview - Check Coverage
This is the response I get: Quote:
I'm not sure how it works for multiple TV's but I wouldn't be surprised if you have to pay £150 per box! |
Re: Freeview
I dont understand why people don't just watch tv online. BBC iPlayer is great :D
|
Re: Freeview
Not everything is on BBC iPlayer, not all the other channels have online viewing, and the ones that do are fussy and won't let me watch it because I have a mac.

Blazey - get a licence- you are breaking The Law

BBC - BBC iPlayer - Help - Home
As far as I have ever been aware you only need a license if you are streaming live channels, whereas BBC iPlayer is delayed by a particular amount of time. We have a tv license though, I just don't contribute because I don't use the living room or the TV. EDIT: Thanks for your concern though, but obviously I checked before I watch stuff :p I don't want to have a criminal record being a law student :p |

We do have a license though so I wouldn't be breaking any laws if I did, I just don't pay anything towards it because I don't sit downstairs to watch the telly. |
Re: Freeview
The licence doesn't apply if you have locks on your door however! Only applys to the living room if that's the case.

As far as I have ever seen it, its a license per household. And like I said, I don't watch live tv anyway so I don't know why I'm bothering arguing back about it :D |

Re: Freeview
Unfortunately you can't receive the Freeview channels in your area now, but when your region switches to digital you should be able to receive the most popular channels
Thats mine. |
Re: Freeview
I think BBC are bringing out Freesat later this year, which will be a one off connection fee of approx £85.00 for the set top box and aeriel. It will also be HD.

Re: Freeview
I was under the impression that if you get any BBC chanels or radio then you have to pay for a licence, even online as you are viewing it, if you dont get any of the bbc chanels even through the radio station then you dont pay, but im sure you can pick up the bbc chanels on most radio even live on the internet

That surprised me, maybe you could check up on the actual working of the law relating to TV licenses. The license is supposed to be for operating TV signal receiving equipment. Streaming it across the internet live or otherwise does not require the use of a TV signal receiver. Was the law changed? If so when and to what. Come on Michelle put your law brain into gear and find out the actually wording on the Bill or whatever supports this law. |
