Sounds good.

A step in the right direction but it all depends on how they implement the TV licence check. For TV owners, it is mandatory to get a TV licence, so they need to ensure its done properly otherwise they'll insist all internet users have a licence!!!!

I assume the video will be of comparable quality to that seen on the iPlayer?

If its at least as good as the iplayer, when it's on high mode, i think that should be ok - the sound becomes alot better too.

Sounds good, even just for top gear. Wonder how they'll enforce the "fee payers-only" bit. I haven't seen my license since it fell through the front door, but even I could find it; the only ways I can think of enforcing it is either some form of code or serial on the license itself(because that's worked so well for the software industry) or by address, in which case anyone without a license will enter their gran's details.

I think what is more likely to happen is that it will just be limited to UK only like iPlayer and ITV|F1(now dead).
