I'm stunned they've banned UK visitors from that page.
They give license payer funded content out internationally, but commercially funded is restricted to everyone but license payers?
The few links on HN to BBC site are the only value I get from the license fee - I don't watch the channels or iPlayer.
- corin_ 14y agoDo you not watch any TV at all? Because if not, you could just chose not to pay the license fee. (I guess unless you do watch live TV but never BBC channels.)
- keithpeter 14y agoAlas, the definition of 'television receiving apparatus' was expanded to include a computer with internet connection some years ago. I wrote to my MP about it and the reply suggested that not having a TV set but having a broadband connection was a grey area, hinging on the issue of iPlayer use to view video as it was broadcast. I decided to pay the licence fee just in case as a prosecution would be embarrassing.
