DailyMotion Now Streaming Live News

An anonymous reader writes "Beet.TV reports that DailyMotion has begun streaming live news from Al Jazeera, BBC, and France 24 among others. They write, 'Paris-based DailyMotion, the world's second biggest online video site, has integrated with London-based live news portal Livestation to provide a number of live streaming television news networks including Al Jezeera, Bloomberg, the BBC, France 24, and sources from other nations as well as from oganizations including the United Nations and NASA.'"

I just tried it. HTML5 doesn't work with the live streaming (at least for the time being).

BBC Licensing

[stepdown]

Does anybody know if streaming BBC news in this manner requires you to have a license fee?

I think the position, at least on the BBC's own site, is that while you can play pre-recorded shows without one, a license is required to stream BBC programs live which was clarified with the release of smartphone apps.

"Without knowing the specifics of how it's being done, I'll point out is possible to receive BBC transmissions outside of the United Kingdom"

It's called Free To Air satellite TV, which includes all BBC channels, Five, most of the ITV and Channel4 channels (not all +1 variants and HDTV channels are FTA) and bunch of other crap on Astra 2 transponders.

Nope it's here.

No, it's here. There's no need for signing up for anything.

It's a big deal to have Al Jazeera in the USA. Most cable systems don't carry it out of a kind of xenophobic fear of a "foreign" point of view.
