No Licence is required to Watch iplayer in the UK

A TV Licence is required to watch live broadcasts ie. News24 via the BBC website, but is not required to watch 'catch up' ITV, or BBC iplayer programmes. BBC have stated that the number of people without TV Licences and with High Speed Broadband is extremely small, that it is currently not an issue for TV Licencing Revenue.
TV Licencing have stated they would prosecute individuals watching live transmissions regardless of the method of receiving the live transmission, ie. Broadband enabled Live broadcasts.
