Television Goes Flying

Post by delticbob »

I was given a link to the BBC Archives this afternoon to the famous programme about 4472's 40th anniversary non-stop run from Kings Cross to Edinburgh.....and that got me wondering if the archive had anything about aircraft, & I found this jem http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/aerialjour ... =1&id=5347 Once again Raymond Baxter is there with his famous voice.

If this has been linked to before I do apologise. I like the comment about the Canberra being round for years to come....probably longer than they thought.

You do still need a licence to use any equipment capable of receiving television broadcasts including tv set, digital box, video or dvd recorder, computer with tv card capable of receiving tv signals or mobile phone capable of receiving TV broadcasts, but that isn't why the footage is blocked, it's to do with rights. If I recall correctly, all BBC content is blocked to ISPs with non-UK addresses because some of their programming only has broadcast rights in the UK. This ought not to apply to this piece but clearly it's easier to set up a "ban all non-UK isps from access" protocol than one which selectively blocks access only to those programmes where performance rights are only held for the UK, leaving others unblocked, and running the risk of a cock-up.

I had the same problem when I tried to watch some programming on the Irish broadcaster RTE's version of iPlayer (no, it's not called O'Player...) which wouldn't allow me in.

Hi Folks

Brian -
Most BBC website content is GeoIP locked.
i.e.
Its not available outside UK, or Crown dependencies.

It's not a licence-ownership issue as such.

If you live outside the UK
you will not be able to view that content,
whether or not you own a licence.



Just to clear up a common misconception, (BBC inferred) -

You do not need to have a licence to own reception-capable equipment,
or to play any BBC archived, or non-live, content.

You do however -
require a licence to receive, or record, any broadcast
concurrent to its public transmission, (i.e. at the same time as all other signal recipients).
This covers watching, or recording programmes, via any medium, including over IP.



Personally I disagree with their IP restriction.

If they wish to billboard publish their content on the internet,
then they've no right to apply licensing restrictions.

Thing is, some BBC stuff (especially the newscasts) will broadcast over the net, even here in the US.

Just out of curiosity though, can those of you in the UK watch the full episode streams on either of the following sites -

www.cbs.com

or

www.hulu.com

?

Just a test to see if US networks/groups do the same thing.
