The only way to police it would be to insist on some sort of login to iPlayer involving creating an account where you had to confirm your address and TV Licence number. Only if you entered a valid address & number would you be allowed to create a login to access iPlayer.
Though it might need some extra effort to ensure that hundreds of people were not logging on with the same licence number, eg somebody "borrowing" a mate's licence number to create the account. Whatever way you look at it the new rules are so full of holes that they are basically useless. |

Premises are licensed not people.
The use of iPlayer on a mobile device away from home is covered by your home licence provided the device you are using is powered solely by it's own batteries and not plugged into the mains. http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-i...-devices-TOP14 If none of these apply, you need a licence. However, TVL inspectors are not authorised to approach people in the street (nor any home address) without it being on the list from TVL that is generated for them each morning. They can pass on info eg new build properties now appear to be occupied, but cannot go and knock on the door. |

No they aren't. They would have to get a warrant to access that information and no judge is going to give them that without concrete evidence.
