  • "Mizza - I believe buffering is recording, and you would therefore require a license. They state 'You need to be covered by a valid TV Licence if you watch or record TV as it's being broadcast. This includes the use of devices such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone or DVD/video recorder.' However, you can watch 'catch-up' such as iPlayer, and not need a license. You won't be visited by the enforcers as their 'kit' won't register you watching a tv. A license in this day and age is an anachronism, the same as a car tax disc - the bureaucracy keeps thousands in paper shuffling jobs, no other reason for it. Taxes can be collected much more efficiently."

More than 400 people across the county caught dodging TV licence

MORE than 340 people in Hereford were caught watching TV without a licence during 2012, according to figures from TV Licensing reveal.

In Leominster more than 90 people were found not to have paid the licence, in results recorded from January 2012 until last month.

Mark Whitehouse, TV licensing spokesman for the West Midlands, said: “In order to be fair to the law-abiding majority who do pay for their licence, we’ll continue to pursue the small minority of people who do not pay.”

Failure to pay for a licence could result in prosecution and fines of up to £1,000.
