So you have to be careful what you watch otherwise you will need to buy a licence, but as long as you only stream non live through the PC.

But if you use a Television set even to stream I expect that they will still want the licence fee as that is built to watch TV and that is why you must provide an address when purchasing a tv and it may even have an inbuilt freeview tuner.

Not true, only live/simulcast broadcasts need a TV licence and they don;t tend to be on iplayer but instead via the news or other BBC sites. The iPlayer service is for and I quote

No, if you only use your tv for vcr / dvd (playback) or connect it to a pc for example you don't need a license either.

yeah I been watching ahem listening to tv (my eyes too bad in evenings at the moment) on iplayer here, as no tv in this room. Laptop bit small and poor sound but on my home pc it would be something I could get used to.

iplayer does also live stream and last night on dragons den I even heard the sound from my sister's tv was lagged behind the internet stream, I expected it the other way round.

My point is when I do decided to download something it can invariably be big. So yes it would be over 3.5gb on some occasions, at which point I would be capped. If there is a stats page to show how little I download then I will gladly post it to prove my point. :D
