Oh right
thanks for clearing that up.

Do you need one to listen to the radio online?

nope
i think you can get it on iplayer too?

iPlayer's paid for
by the BBC, hence the license fee. As is the content streamed over it.

It's all GeoIP locked to make sure you can only see it in the UK (license-fee-payer area).

So any iPlayer stuff's covered by the requirement for the License to, no?

only
if you're watching it live, as it's being broadcast. "If you use the BBC iPlayer to watch BBC programmes after they have been broadcast - either to download, or via streaming 'on demand' you will not need a TV Licence."
