Magnet IPTV and Tv licence

Andy454 · 2012-10-03 15:23:54

I have a panasonic th-42pw4 42" Plasma monitor It only has a vga port and an audio input port - no tv tuner. If I connect the component output of magnet box to the vga port on the monitor, I technically don't need a tv licence do I? The tv broadcasts are iptv based, not wireless / cable signals?

Every household, business or institution in Ireland with a television or equipment capable of receiving a television signal (using an aerial, satellite dish, cable or other means) must have a television licence.

If the only video connection is has is a VGA port then it is not a TV, it is a computer monitor, and you do not need a TV licence for a computer monitor!

You've answered your own question, you do need one. IPTV is TV delivered through broadband, isn't it

You need a licence. Doesn't matter if its delivered via IP to a "monitor".
