you have to register to watch it now if you don't have a tv licence this is a way for them to find out if you are using a computer without a licence

It's been that way for ages Doc. At least a year, maybe two?

The registering is a recent thing (and on my TV you can still ignore it but not on pc) and I wouldn't think that a gmail account in the name of tv mctvface is going to be much use to them. (Unless they ask you to provide a tv license number when registering). They can just get your ISP to provide the records I would think.

It's to check if you have a tv license.

If you register you are saying you have a tv license .
If you don't have a to license they can't prove that you are watching tv But now they can take you to court and prove that you are watching BBC programmes without a license You have told them . |

have you registered lfc1971? There is only one license in a household, there can be many people living in a household who aren't license payers. Does it ask you for a license number?
I haven't registered and complained to their data protection officer. I don't need the bbc to build a profile of me to provide me with info about programs they think I'd like to watch. If the registration was simply to prove that I was covered by a license fair enough, but that isn't what they say it is for. |

They know you don't have a license , you register to use BBC i player .
that means you are watching BBC programmes without a license . They are not trying to find out if you have a license , they know you don't In the past watching tv there was no way to prove that you were watching tv Now they know that you are watching on computer without a license.. |

By:
Why do the BBC say you have to register, what do they say.?
Whatever it is don't believe them. |
|
By:
As I said above if you have to provide a TV license when registering, I can see some logic, but if I can register with the email address tv.mctvface@gmail.com, I can't see the point.

you don't have to provide a tv license, they know you don't have one.

I don't mean you of corse dave someone else that might not have a license.
|

By:
Of course in the past silly people used to complain about the tv license ,
When all they ever needed to do was not pay it . |
|
By:
That meant there was the best of all possible worlds, tv programmes would continue to be on the tv, payed for by people who wanted to continue paying.
|
|
By:
And if the programmes are there, who knows who might be watching the programmes, without a license?
I don't know. |

I'd never register for anything to do with the BBC
It's a bit like Paying to Vote but i suspect most on here would probably do that also my only Question would be How much ... £50 .. no they'd start kicking an Uproar on internet Forums £20 .. probably but £10 would be my standard charge as i know 75% of the Vegas thread would pay it without Question |
