[Poll #1656749]

A quick definition for the non-technology-minded:
If you're watching it on iPlayer or via any website, or via Video On Demand, then you're streaming. If you download a file to your computer to watch whenever you feel like it then you're downloading.
Oh, and VHS tapes, for the purposes of this poll, count as shiny disks. You are also banished back to the Second Millenium.

It never did, IIRC. But TV Licensing claimed you needed one because, well, division of Crapita.

I didn't have a licence when I lived in Torquay despite having a TV used for DVDs. I'd known that was perfectly OK for ages.

I think though, thinking about it, that there might have been a court case confirming it, thus Capita had been enforcing it on people up until someone took them to court over it.
