I have no TV but watch the news, weather etc on computer as well as using bbc iplayer. I regularly get a notice from the licencing authority telling me that if I have a receiver (including computer) that can receive "live" tv then I must buy a licence. Now I have tried several things to see what is "live". My digital radio plays the same programme slightly later than my FM radio so the digital radio cannot be "live". I was in away at New Year and both watched and listened to the Vienna New Year concert, it was "live" on FM radio, slightly later on digital radio and later still on TV so that was not "live", The news and weather from bbc on the computer are also later than those on a tv. Does anyone know what "live" really means? Thank you.
