They've released them both - I retract my last comment.
Oh ps3 is flash only. Works great though - I unplugged my ariel from the back of the tv a few weeks ago and use a combination of tvcatchup and iplayer for all tv now. Don't need a licence fee anymore ;)

Not only is it a licence fee for watching live broadcasts but it seems it is also a fee to stop BBC harassment, be interesting to see how much psuedo threatening spam you suddenly get from them when stopping paying now you do not need to... but I bet it's not the level to make 140 squid worth paying to get them shutup though :lol:

i dont think thats strictly true is it? i think if you have a telly you need a license regardless of whether you have an aerial or not from the tv license website

tvcatchup and iplayer are purely playback across the internet not watch as it's being broadcast on TV and therefore do not require TV license (yet). If you was using a computer to record a program as its being broadcast then yes you need a license. Plenty of references from the horses mouth on google about this.
