Sorry. Just a tangential thought  |
Yes its off-topic, but I will respond to it, to say that the BBC are lobbying extremely hard to get the law changed regarding that. One of the options they are persuing is a requrement for a TV Licence to own a PC.
Another option they are considering is to require downloaders to enter their TV Licence number before being allowed to download or stream off iPlayer.
So I fully expect the status of iPlayer to change sooner or later, in that respect.
