Similarly you need a license to watch or record ITV+1 because you're watching or recording the content from ITV+1 as it's broadcast. The fact that the content from ITV+1 happens to be a repeat of the content from ITV, one hour earlier, is irrelevant - it's live content on ITV+1 right now.<br /><br />Chris<br />Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-89527388567938583182016-09-10T13:17:28.711+01:002016-09-10T13:17:28.711+01:00Pleepsit Pants - that is certainly the way we see ...Pleepsit Pants - that is certainly the way we see it.<br />We have approached the BBC for comment, but they have so far ignored our request for clarification. Their refusal to respond may well indicate that (a) they don't know themselves, or (b) we're absolutely correct in our interpretation.Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07732399111583086465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-7563981023881167832016-09-10T12:11:21.856+01:002016-09-10T12:11:21.856+01:00So, if someone posts a link on social media of a B...So, if someone posts a link on social media of a BBC news video, for example, and it plays on the social media page, in a box, does this make you liable for a licence?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10886702380307595311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959111893158321335.post-2512463987162121002016-09-10T12:07:17.431+01:002016-09-10T12:07:17.431+01:00Still doesn't explain the theory behind why a ...Still doesn't explain the theory behind why a licence is needed to view these time shift programs. Unless they themselves are simply transmitted "live" later on. <br /><br />NB: Thinking about it further, I can see the difference now.
