Specifically, watching catchup tv over the internet is fine. It even says so on the paperwork. Also, just owning a tv is not sufficient. Get your facts straight before you rant. /owns a tv /does not watch tv /uses iplayer for catchup /no license & don't need one Incorrect – the fee is only applicable for watching LIVE tv.

As an English language student I find there is not much sophisticated British content out there, except if local TV channels buy some from the BBC. Besides, if you pay 300 Pounds a year, why couldn't others also pay let's say 15 Pounds to see a season of "League of Gentlemen" et. al. online or get downloads of the same? Sometimes it is also quite hard to even get DVD releases of BBC series in certain countries. Maybe it could open up some of the content, like the news, and put up other content for a small fee.
