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

  3. BBC Licensing by stepdown · · Score: 3, Informative

    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.

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