    You also need a TV license if you use a 3G phone to watch it.

        So how about if I stick some code on my remotely hosted website to record the video stream and re-broadcast it with a 15 sec. delay. Does that still count as live?

          Interesting question.

          What if you have one of these and have no actual television at home?

            This would count as illegal distribution...

              Only if I let other people watch it. If it's just me watching the delayed feed does that still count?

                Are you sure that is illegal distribution??

                Does that mean any program i record onto DVD/Video/Etc. and then play back to mates/lend to mates is illegal distribution i could be locked up for ?

                  Under the strict wording of the law, yes. Of course, this is hard to prove and there are bigger fish to fry, but off-air recordings are strictly for personal use only.

                    Plus I wouldnt put it past the licence people to take you to court because you will be am easy target. However, if you were a multi-millionair OR muslim then the government wont touch you!
