TV's without tuners

[s70rmp]

I've bought a few for work they are just called monitors

the largest I bought I think was 55", they are more expensive then a tv but if thats what your looking for then it would work.

Would you be watching Sky on it ?, even if you play the BBC iPlayer on it your ment to have a licence

The TV licensing website states the following;-

If you watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV you must, by law, be covered by a TV Licence, no matter what device you're using.

BBC Iplayer shows programs after they have been broadcast so you don't need a license to watch it If you are watching something online while it's being broadcast then you would need one..

If you are watching live at the same time the program is being broadcast then, yes, you do need a licence BUT if you are watching at a later time then according to the licensing people, you dont need a licence.

The above statement is wrong, you do not need a licence to watch iPlayer content, unless it's a 'live' broadcast.

EDIT: lol, just read the rest of the post's, seems I am the third person to state this..... "I must read all the posts, before posting myself"

I honestly thought youd need a licence, but dont you need a licence if you have a radio in the house ?

[Reid Malenfant]

Not for about the last 40 years no

I have about 5 TVs in this house & none are connected to an aerial, i actually only use two of them at the present & only really one of those. They get used to watch blu rays, DVDs & videos with the very occasional bit of gaming.

No TV license needed here

what no Sky HD ?

[Reid Malenfant]

Ah no, you'd need a TV license to watch broadcast TV or to record it to your Sky HD box or whatever..

I have to be honest, I'm starting to wonder why I have a TV licence - I reckon I have watched about 10 hours in the last month and some of that was on DVD

Tim, i realised i no longer needed one when the only thing i watched on TV was the series Flashforward, i'd probably switched on the TV to watch TV for only a few hours in the whole previous year

At that point i thought it can get stuffed & if i wanted to watch whatever it was i'll wait for the blu ray or DVD & enjoy it when i wanted

I couldn't justify 50p per day for a load of shite & repeats

I don't miss it because i hardly ever used it anyway, besides which i have more music time or i now have much better quality sound & pictures (1080P) with the possibility of full surround sound with the silver discs. Either way i win...
