You need Realplayer and it's only a "trial" apparantlybut it IS very high quality and i imagine of great interest (or not) to Non-UK types
I'm watching a show which seems to be about the history of cooking programmes... live on the internet!

Detector vans worked well when TVs produced a distinctive interference signal, but they don't work very well with solid-state electronic tellys. Nowadays their main "detection" policy is visiting unlicensed houses and saying "we know you've got one really".
I did once have a TV without a licence, and the detection people did come round after a while. I didn't hear them knocking on the door - and avoided a nasty fine - because the volume on the TV was turned up too loud.

"i would gladly sell my house and all its contents..."
i'd be stuffed if they started licencing based on receivers - i have 7 what with TVs, PVRs, VCRs and PC cards (which also means i'm stuffed when they turn off the analogue signal and have to buy another 6 digiboxes)
bbcs 3 and 4 pissing me off at the moment for using onscreen logos. nobody likes them.
the ads on ch4 and ch5 also seem to be getting more prevalent. the first ad break, in particular, is getting earlier and earlier - the one in the 6 o'clock simpsons is sometimes as early as 6 minutes in.

Watching Monty Python in the early eighties without this context made the 'Cat Detector Van' sketch all the more surreal.

"licences: i read that they're looking at ways to restrict it to UK IP addresses only, and there can't be THAT many people with broadband but not a tv, right?"
ive only had a tv for 2 yrs of my life, when living with others. surely with the increase of torrents, dvd rental servies etc, more and more people are going to ditch tv and go stright for the internet? thats what i do at the mo, get odd bbc4 docs off uknova and get dvds off lovefilm. dont need a tv.
haha doesnt mean that i wouldnt watch it on the internet if it was free (ie if this thing started up for reals)

not a problem here as i've had my own licence for years despite probably being covered by other licences (ie in shared properties). if they ever start charging per device, as they have mentioned in the past, then i'll be stuffed. 8(

Also for all the business that require broadband to operate, are they going to need a licence per building.

the key point with broadband:
"need a licence to watch any TV station broadcasting within the UK on your computer."
If you watch a live broadcast via broadband on your computer - then you need a license
If you have Broadband but.. don't watch a live broadcast, and don't have a TV then you don't need a license. You can still
However, you are free to watch archived programmes or downloadable clips without a licence.
