Like "Enter your licence number to continue watching" has yet to appear on the screen. I am sure the millions who do pay for the TV Licence are very happy to fund free iPad or iWhatever viewing? Or are we to rely on everyone with the devices mentioned to have a conscience and buy a licence? The same goes for those watching iPlayer abroad ? One does not even need to register to access it .

I’m torn between thanking you for being supportive and asking you to tone down the language. (“Cunt off, twats”, while charming in its own way, is a bit stronger than it needed to be).

It doesn't matter whether the material has previously been broadcast-or whether it cost anything to produce. You don't need a license to use IPlayer. You need a license to watch material as it is being broadcast. This means that you need a license to watch tv on the ITV website, and to watch stuff through 4oD that is being streamed as it is being broadcast. You also need a license if you want to watch match of the day online-only available as it's being shown on traditional TV. So get your facts right before having a go at people.

Then i thought i could go for a shower and come back and watch the ending however when i went back to the time i wanted i had streaming problems again, why doesn't it do it like youtube apart from that it was great yet was is it iPlayer like iTunes???
