IPlayer Could Soon Belong To The TV License

iPlayer could soon belong to the TV license

The BBC iPlayer and other catch-up in demand for services can be covered by the TV license if the plans are hotter by the British government to materialize.

While all British TV channels include £ 145 annual bill, the line is not on-demand - that means you can watch all Downton Abbey to the network without paying a penny of it.

This despite the fact that BBC iPlayer is funded in part by the tariff (66p for each license sales is spent on the service), although the BBC says that only 0.2% of UK homes just watch TV to catch up services.

The new plans will require that anyone with iPlayer or any other ground services to compensate for the TV license, either watching on a computer, box of tablets, smart phones or cable.

Unbridled

It did not go as to confirm that the fee will be changed, but the government spokesman said: "The government is aware of developing technologies and changing habits of TV viewers to watch television programs.

"As the BBC is funded by these things Evolve Department of thing is treated in the near future."

But, says the culture secretary Jeremy Hunt last year that the government was "not going to introduce a fee PC" - suddenly to become something of a U-turn.
