New Licensing rules apply to all viewers of the BBC iPlayer service,
The change in rules cover all iPlayer programs; previously only viewers of live broadcasts required a licence.
The new rules have been brought in to cover the change in consumption of TV online, with the digital generation watching more programs via smart phones, tables and computers.
The BBC is running an awareness program at those most affected by the change, recommending that, if in doubt, visit the TV licensing web site http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk,
as many of the rules are passed via pier to pier and are not correct, for example a student is not covered by their parents TV licence whilst at university, unless the device they watch iPlayer on is never plugged into the mains.
Users of BBC iPlayer will need to declare that they have a Licence before watching any content.
Around 94% of households have a licence, but it is unclear how the new rules will be enforced as it is believed that existing enforcement techniques will continue without change.
It will be interesting to see what the future plans are as this may impact on the use of iPlayer from abroad, a move with would be very popular and offer the BBC, potentially, an additional revenue stream.
Online use is now massive, in June users made 229,000,000 requests online to watch a program.
The BBC are dedicated to enforcing the law and failure to obtain a TV licence for £145.50 can result in a fine of £1000 plus costs.
