Re: TV Licence?

It will still need a license if you are watching broadcast TV via the internet.

There is a definition of what broadcast TV means knocking around, but I can't be arsed to dig it out. It's something to do with watching it (however you do it) while the same content is being transmitted on a broadcast medium, and covers all broadcast types.

This is different from on-demand, where you request specific content independently of whether it is being sent to other users.
