Quote: The corporation has not updated its detection technology to include tablet devices, mobile phones and computers. Instead it continues to use the same tracking system which only detects television signals to discover which homes have TV sets that might be unlicensed. The BBC yesterday vowed to prosecute anyone who watches live TV via the new iPlayer application, which it is launching today (thurs), without a TV licence - but it was unclear how they would be caught. The corporation said it does not have a “separate enforcement” strategy to ensure people using the BBC iPlayer have paid for a TV licence. The free "app" allows people to watch BBC TV and listen to BBC Radio live on the move – an action which needs to be covered by a TV licence. |
