I suppose this will open a can of worms! ON a shopping channel today they had a laptop demoing skyplayer etc. Now does anyone know if you actually need a license to watch tv this way. The TV license says to receive any broadcast signal but broadband is not a broadcast signal is it?

I suspect that you do but what is the legal view about this form of viewing - any ideas?

You need a TV Licence to watch anything via a computer if its live apparently. But if you watch something on I Player for example, you don't need one. This was info received after a friend of mine contacted the Licencing people. This was last year.

Yes you do.

 

You need a TV licence to watch live broadcasts, which Sky Player is.

 

You do NOT need one to watch non live broadcasts, such as iPlayer.
